Welcome
A warm welcome to the website of the Royal Dunedin Male Choir. 2026 is an exciting year for the Choir. We celebrated our 140th birthday at our May concert in the Cathedral. In August we reintroduce a Friends and Family concert based on our 1886 "Smoke Concerts". This will take place at the Otago Golf Club in Balmacewen and introduce our new music team of Rosemary and Ewen. We return to the Cathedral for our traditional December concert.
We are making much greater use of Facebook so please check this out. We are posting regularly and you can see much more of what we are up to (and even what we look like!). Sarah has created some very clever posts for us.
A goal for 2026 is to continue the process of recruiting younger members as our senior members retire and to expand the variety of music we sing, hence the Friends and Family concert in a different venue.
Our repertoire is an eclectic mix of old favourites and new music, including some written in New Zealand - as you would expect from a choir with its origins in the 1880s and with a strong desire to still be relevant in the mid-2020s.
