The legendary Lee County Community Band will present Love Notes, a romantic, fun-filled, free concert on February 16, at 3 p.m. at Mariner High School, 701 Chiquita Blvd. North, Cape Coral.

The program features vocalist Fred Lamb performing Tony Bennett’s signature tune, I Left My Heart in San Francisco. Lamb was raised in a family of musicians and sang with The United States Army Band, Pershing’s Own, in Washington, D.C for more than 20 years before retiring to Cape Coral seven years ago.

The band also will perform Somewhere My Love (Lara’s Theme, from the film Doctor Zhigavo); Dam Busters, from the British film of the same name; Flutation, Highlights from Carousel, Sousa’s Liberty Bell March, and Tribute to Irving Berlin.

Under the direction of Gil Peltola, the 65-member adult band performs six concerts between November and April. Programs reflect the band’s well-earned reputation for lively, upbeat music and promise an entertaining mix of new and familiar tunes, energetic marches, and Broadway and Silver Screen hits.

Band members are musicians from all walks of life who reside in Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties. 

Lee County Community Band concerts are free of charge (donations welcome), and open to the public. Additional concert dates are March 16 and April 13. All concerts will be at Mariner High School 701 Chiquita Boulevard North, beginning at 3 p.m. 

An institution in Southwest Florida, the band enjoys a large, loyal, and enthusiastic audience at every concert. Plan to arrive early for best choice of seating.
