Fairport, N.Y. — Love was in the air in Fairport on Friday night.

The Perinton Concert Band presented “Love is in the Air,” at the Minerva DeLand School Auditorium, featuring a medley of love-themed musical selections.

“If you don’t like one number, just wait a moment,” said conductor Charles Van Buren. “You’ll like the next one.”

The medley included a wide range of genres, from the Beatles, to Cole Porter on Broadway, all the way to Symphony No. 4 by Tchaikovsky.

“It started in 1978 and has grown all these years,” said Van Buren, who’s in his final season as conductor.

The band began in Fairport, and auditions were held through word of mouth. 46 years later, the band consists of 48 musicians.
