GREENE – The Mollyockett Chorus will perform at the Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial, 371 Sawyer Road, at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 24, and 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, July 25. Admission is free and doors open one hour before shows.

The Mollyockett Chorus is a local group of women singers from a wide geographical area in southwestern Maine.

The chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, the world’s largest non-profit musical education organization for women singers.

The group sings barbershop style a capella harmony in four parts: tenor, lead, baritone, bass.

The name honors Mollyockett, a Pequawket Indian who was born sometime between 1730 and 1740. She was a healer, an artisan, storyteller and friend of settlers in the region.

This year’s show will include an original humorous song, “You Know You’re from Maine,” which honors local customs and idiosyncrasies.

The quartet, “Meant to Be,” also performs in the show. They have been singing together for more than a year and will compete in the Sweet Adelines Region 1 quartet competition in Springfield, Mass.
