Kerem Kurk

Kerem Kurk has been singing professionally since his days at the Manhattan School of Music in the studio of Patricia Misslin.  In his final semester in 2002, he sang the title role in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito under the baton of Julius Rudel in the Cathedral St. John the Divine in New York City.   Upon graduation, Kerem joined the International Opera Studio of the Zurich Opera, where he sang in various productions with renowned conductors Christoph von Dohnanyi and Marcello Viotti.  While in Switzerland, he studied privately with Nicolai Gedda.  His performance of Belmonte in the Entführung aus dem Serail at the Bad Hersfeld Festival in Germany was praised in the November 2003 issue of Opernwelt magazine as a “first-rate Mozart tenor with a highly-cultivated legato.”   Followin
