The American mezzo-soprano, Megan Berti had her undergraduate studies at California State University Long Beach. While there, she performed Sesto in W.A. Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito and La Messaggiera in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. She has participated in the summer programs Le Chiavi di Bel Canto twice and SongFest’s Sterns Fellow program.

Bach's B Minor Mass (BWV 232) and St Matthew's Passion (BWV 244), and in the chamber orchestra version of Alban Berg's Sieben frühe Lieder. She also sang as the soloist in Rossini’s Le Petite Messe Solennelle with the Gregory Kunde Chorale and L.v.
