Charlie Brown Christmas at First Universalist

NORWAY — The Heather Pierson Quartet will present "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at First Universalist Church on Sunday, December 16 at 3 p.m.

The musical score for "A Charlie Brown Christmas," composed by the late Vince Guaraldi, is just as poignant and touching as the story and includes the hugely popular hit “Linus and Lucy." His gentle jazz riffs established musical trademarks that, to this day, still prompt smiles of recognition.

This classic collection of holiday music will be performed by a quartet of talented musicians, led by Heather Pierson. Heather is a veteran pianist and performer who has just released her sixth CD, “The Open Road,” a collection of her solo piano compositions. Joining Heather for this very special Christmas concert will be Joe Aliperti on alto and tenor sax, Shawn Nadeau on bass, and Matt Bowman on drums. The group will perform the entirety of the "Charlie Brown Christmas" album as recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, as well as other well known and popular Christmas tunes.

The church is located at 479 Main St. in Norway's historic downtown. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 18 and are available at Books ‘n’ Things in Norway or online at www.heatherpierson.com.
