Join the Royal Dunedin Male Choir as they celebrate an extraordinary milestone — 140 years of music, tradition, and community.

On Sunday 31 May 2026 at 2:00pm, the Choir will present a special anniversary concert at St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of the Octagon.

This commemorative performance honours the Choir’s founding in 1886 and reflects on generations of choral music through a programme featuring the very first song performed at the Choir’s inaugural concert, alongside music representing many of the decades since. It promises to be an afternoon celebrating heritage, harmony, and the enduring contribution of choral music in Dunedin.

The concert will also feature special guest artists, the Southern Youth Choir, bringing together voices from across generations for this memorable occasion.

🎟 Adults: $25
🎟 Students: $15
💵 Door sales available (cash only)

Whether you are a long-time supporter, a lover of choral music, or simply looking to be part of a significant moment in Dunedin’s cultural history, this is a concert not to be missed.

We look forward to welcoming you to this very special celebration of 140 years of song.

I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace.

As I prepare to visit Rome later this month to meet and pray with Pope Leo, I am mindful of his call to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, and our gaze fixed on our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ – the image of the invisible God, in whose image and likeness every human being is made. In him, we recognise that we are children of the one Father and members of a single human family. Prayer is not an escape from the world, nor a turning away from injustice; rather, it is a turning towards God in the midst of it, confronting evil, seeking God’s will, and becoming instruments of transformation and peace.
