NORWAY — The Mollyockett Chorus, a women’s barbershop group that sings together every Tuesday night, invites all women singers to an open house to get a taste of what the chorus is all about.

The gathering is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, downstairs at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, 479 Main St. in Norway.

Chorus members will talk about the organization and sing a few numbers. Conductor Simon Smith will teach a few songs, and the chorus members hope to share their love of barbershop singing.

There are no obligations of any kind. Women can come whether they are searching for a new place to sing, or if just curious, according to a news release from the group.

The chorus was organized in 1996 and is a chapter of Harmony Inc., an international women’s barbershop organization. New members are always welcomed.

The Mollys meet year-round and perform where and when they are asked, often as part of a local music or arts festival. Sometimes they have a sing-out just for fun. The chorus covers the area of Lewiston, Auburn, Oxford, Norway, Casco, South Paris, Bethel, Rumford and Windham.

They will be at the Bridgton Farmers’ Market from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 24.

There is parking behind the church and on the street. There are car pools from Bethel and Rumford.
