NORWAY — The First Universalist Church of Norway will present its annual Harvest Concert, featuring  the Norway UU Choir under the direction of Heather Pierson, on Sunday, Nov. 18.

Also performing at 2 p.m. in the church sanctuary will be Davy Sturtevant and Nate Towne. The concert is a fundraiser for the Oxford Hills Food Pantry.

Pierson is a veteran singer-songwriter, composer, performer and winner of the 2012 New England Songwriting Contest. Her sixth CD release, “The Open Road,” a collection of her instrumental piano compositions, was released in October. Besides her extensive performance schedule, she has been music director at the Norway UU Church since March 2003.

Sturtevant is a musician, composer and singer-songwriter currently residing in Bridgton. He plays guitar, banjo and mandolin and has a repertoire that includes folk, jazz, blues, swing and old-time music. A prolific musician, he has played roles in many recordings as artist, sideman, engineer and producer. His most recent solo CD, “Dis-Ease: A Coming Out,” is both an expression of his despair and affirmations of triumph over bipolar disorder. 

Towne, a Norway native, is a guitarist known for his blues and folk sensibilities and thought-provoking songwriting. His latest release, “Empty Tables & Chairs,” was released this past spring at Tucker’s Music Pub. 

Concert tickets are $5 at the door. The church is at 479 Main St. Nonperishable food items will be collected. For more information, call 743-2828 or e-mail heather@heatherpierson.com.
