Open to all Bates students, staff, and faculty, this ensemble is intended to develop the skill and knowledge to perform a wide range of musical styles and genres at a high level. Repertoire spans from a cappella Renaissance motets to Broadway and major symphonic works from all periods.  There will be an emphasis in developing each singer’s vocal ability in a positive environment as well as to present quality performances with a high level of musicianship.

There are two required rehearsals per week and a performance at the end of every semester.

Students of all majors and backgrounds are eligible to audition.

While College Choir is normally taken for credit, the Director will also consider auditors (for students whose credit load would otherwise prevent them from registering).

Feel free to contact Zen Kuriyama, Director, at zkuriyama@bates.edu if you have further questions regarding the College Choir.
