PaTRAM new CD Blessed are Thou Among Women - Coming Soon!

The recording is a compilation of hymns to the Theotokos (Mother of God) that were among the favorites of the late Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov. This very special album is dedicated to Fr. Valery by PaTRAM Institute Chairman and Co-Founder, Alexis V. Lukianov, and his wife Katherine, Academy Director and also Co-Founder, who were the Executive Producers of the new album.

The CD was recorded at the St. Alexander Nevsky Diocesan Cathedral in Howell, NJ in August of 2018. The Cathedral was designed and built by Fr. Valery and is a well-known architectural masterpiece with excellent acoustics. Fr. Valery rests in peace behind this beloved church where his family, parishioners and the Orthodox faithful often come to pray and remember Fr. Valery’s kindness, wisdom and the spiritual nourishment he provided to so many for more than 50 years in service as a priest.

“Our singers performed beautifully to bring this great music to a broad audience and to showcase the gorgeous St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Memory Eternal, Dad!” Mr. Lukianov said.

Be our guest and preview a very special video of music from the CD. Watch now.

The CD is now available for for purchase or download. Be the first hear our new album and enjoy the beautiful and deeply spiritual sound. This CD will make a wonderful gift for Pascha (April 19th).

PATRAM™ PRIVATE INSTRUCTION COURSE DIRECTORY NOW AVAILABLE

PaTRAM Institute™ is happy to announce a newly revised approach to their online course training model called the “Private Instruction Course Directory”.

In an effort to make online course training more accessible to our interested students, PaTRAM™ redesigned their methodology. Rather than taking on the unnecessary burden of brokering online class organization with instructor availability, PaTRAM Institute, essentially, removed the middleman. In our newly designed model, we’ve made it easier for both the student and the instructor to participate in online training courses.

An interested student simply goes to the PaTRAM website’s new page, selects the course of interest and contacts the instructor directly via email. The two sides can then work out their own agreement as to the scheduling, method of interfacing and cost. With this model, there are no Fall and Spring semesters, no quorums for class size and no scheduling requirements that hampered the original PaTRAM model.

PaTRAM Institute has vetted and certified the qualifications of each instructor prior to listing them. Our standard of excellence has not changed. PaTRAM is dedicated to providing students with top quality online courses and world-class instructors. Each instructor’s bio can be viewed by clicking the corresponding “Read Bio” button located next to the instructor’s photo.

PaTRAM Institute believes this model will be more beneficial to both student and instructor, and we urge all interested students visit the site and connect with the instructors of the courses in which they’re interested. We hope everyone finds this service to be useful, and PaTRAM welcomes input from our loyal subscribers.

Thank you to all for your continued support.

UPDATE – 2020 PaTRAM™ Conductors’ and Singers’ Summer Academy

PaTRAM Institute™ has made the decision to cancel our Conductors’ and Singers’ Summer Academy, scheduled for June 25-28, 2020. It has become clear that it will not be possible or safe to gather together at this time.  We remain hopeful that the global pandemic will pass, and we will again be able to invite the Orthodox community to join together to learn and sing to the Glory of God.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our participants.

Meanwhile, we wish you and your loved ones good health and all of God’s blessings.

Stay safe!
