'a cappella' = "as in the chapel"
The glorious sound of a chorus of voices singing a cappella aptly filled The Peter J. Gomes Chapel on the evening of Feb. 8, as a capacity crowd gathered for Bates’ Annual Winter A Cappella Concert, marking the end of Winter Carnival.
We are so proud that @BatesCollege is partnering with such a powerful engine for access.
We look forward to enrolling our first cohort of @QuestBridge Scholars in fall 2026 as future members of the Bates Class of 2030!
