As Dunedin's leading exponent of large-scale choral works, City Choir Dunedin strives for the highest standards in performing the classics of the repertoire, such as Bach's "St Matthew Passion", Handel's "Messiah" and the Verdi "Requiem".

Sadly, David Greco is unwell and cannot join us on Saturday night.
WELCOME to Beran Sertkaya, who recently arrived in Dunedin to pursue PhD studies at the University of Otago.

Beran graduated from the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts at Bilkent University, Turkey in 2003. He began his professional career in 2004 at the Ankara State Opera and Ballet, and has since performed on the opera stages of Ankara, Istanbul, Mersin, Antalya and Izmir, as well as in numerous concert halls.
In 2010, he was invited on a scholarship to the Savonlinna Music Academy, where he took masterclasses with the world-renowned artist Tom Krause. In 2012 and 2013, he was invited on a scholarship to the Aspen Music School (Colorado, USA) by Ed Berkeley, director at The Juilliard School in New York, where he continued his studies with the American tenor Vinson Cole.
He made his international debut in 2015 as Albert in Jules Massenet's Werther at the Teatro Colón in Argentina. Based in Dunedin since September 2026, he is continuing his work as a doctoral candidate in Performing Arts at the University of Otago.

Hear Beran and our other stunning soloists, with City Choir Dunedin and Dunedin Symphony Orchestra, tomorrow night.
