Mollyockett Chorus Submitted

NORWAY — The Mollyockett Chorus, renowned a cappella singers, will perform a benefit concert on Saturday, November 23, at 7 p.m. at the First Universalist Church of Norway, 479 Main Street, Norway. Admission is $10 at the door. Proceeds will benefit the First Universalist Church of Norway.

Each year the chorus adopts a theme for selecting the songs they will sing that season. This year’s theme is “Backstage at the Variety Show.” Come, join the fun, and hear songs the chorus might sing while waiting backstage. The Mollyockett Chorus, based in Norway, was organized in 1996 and is a chapter of Harmony Inc., an international women’s barbershop organization. Under the direction of Simon Smith of Bethel, the chorus sings lively popular music, mostly from early to mid-20th Century, in the barbershop style.

The chorus is comprised of women from all over the Lakes Region and performs at various venues. They frequently perform at the Bear Mountain Music Hall in Waterford, the Sawyer Foundation in Greene, and the Poland Springs Resort. Women who love to sing are always welcome at chorus rehearsals, which take place Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., downstairs in the First Unitarian Universalist Church Concert Hall, 479 Main Street in Norway.
