NORWAY — On Sunday, July 28, The Bridgton Jazz will perform at the Second Congregational Church, 205 Main St., Norway, from 2-4 p.m. The public is invited to delight in the sights and sounds of big-band jazz presented by these extremely talented musicians from Western Maine and Eastern New Hampshire.

The members are Claudia Keller and Molly O’Connell on alto saxophone; Wendi Porter and Pat Buchanan on tenor saxophone; Dan Siktberg on baritone saxophone; Stan Buchanan, Jim Morris, Kenyon King, Phoebe Payne and Quinn Barbin on trombone; Steve Morrissette, Barbara Siktberg, Jerry Emerson, Lars Vitala and Mike Costa on trumpet; and in the rhythm section, Stephanie Kendzeirski, keyboard; Tom Chandel, bass guitar; and Maylo Keller and Nick LaGassee, drums. The group also showcases a handful of vocalists who add to the group’s style and sound.

Wendi Porter, a band member, and Deb Ladner, a church member collaborated over the past year to present this fundraising concert at the Norway church. Proceeds from the concert will equally benefit The Bridgton Jazz and the church-kitchen project.

After a flood three years ago, the church has been raising funds to renovate/update its 60-year-old kitchen. The kitchen is used for many church events, not the least of these is the very successful monthly drive-thru free supper for the community.

Please mark your calendars for this afternoon of great music! You really don’t want to miss it! A Suggested donation is $10 for adults and $5 for students, but more will always accepted for these two wonderful organizations. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. Seating is open but limited to 235.
