Mixed Choir & Male Singers Programs!
Big CHANGES to allow for GREATER FOCUS!

Announcement
Conductor Masterclass and Singer Programs are now separate!
In order to provide greater focus and attention to the various tracks in our program and to add a composer track, we have decided to separate the Conductor/Composer and Singer components into two venues meeting on different weekends.
In partnership with Dr. Peter Jermihov, an Orthodox Masterclass for Composers and Choir Directors will be held in Chicago, June 20th thru 23rd under the auspices of the Society of Saint Romanos the Melodist.
The PaTRAM Singers’ Summer Academy will now be held June 27th-30th at St. Alexander Nevsky in Howell, NJ. The Academy will offer both a Singers’ Program and a Male Choir Program.
The Male Choir will be conducted by Maestro Vladimir Gorbik while Maestro Benedict Sheehan will conduct the Mixed Choir.
Maestro Gorbik, choirmaster of the Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra Podvorie in Moscow, has held several master classes with the Male Choir at St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. As a result, the male students will also benefit from singing alongside this more experienced and rapidly developing choir.
The Mixed Choir will be in good hands under Maestro Sheehan who has many years of experience conducting at St. Tikhon’s Monastery. Our Academy repertoire will also include hymns from his newly-composed Divine Liturgy (commissioned by PaTRAM).
Laryssa Doohovskoy will lead our outstanding Mixed Singers’ Program faculty comprised of Richard Barrett and Maria Sheehan.
Additionally, Dr. Nicholas Reeves will support both choirs with Musicianship Classes!
Registration is now open for the Conductor/Composer Masterclass.
Registration is Now Open for the PaTRAM Singers’ Summer Academy.

2019 Saratov Recording Project
2019-08-20 - 2019-08-26
Fresh off their GRAMMY nomination for their CD, Teach Me Thy Statutes, and their newly released CD, The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the PaTRAM Institute will record their next CD in Saratov, Russia, this summer. The new CD, entitled More Honorable Than the Cherubim, is a compendium of hymns to the Theotokos by various composers, which will be sung by a fifty-six-member male choir. The singers hail from Russia, Serbia, North America, and Australia. GRAMMY-nominated Maestro Vladimir Gorbik will conduct the choir, which will include an unprecedented ten octavists, with baritone Michail Davydov as the featured soloist. On August 22nd, 2019, the choir will perform their repertoire in concert at the Saratov Conservatory.
The PaTRAM Institute Male Choir will be in Saratov for rehearsals and the recording of the new CD from August 20th-26th, 2019. The CD will be recorded at St. Nicholas Monastery by multi-GRAMMY Award-winning production company Sound Mirror. Sound Mirror has received more than one hundred GRAMMY Awards and nominations for their body of work. PaTRAM is thrilled to be working with them again to create a professional quality CD that brings the beauty of Russian choral music to a Western audience. Reference Recordings, a multi-GRAMMY Award-winning record label based in San Francisco, will print and distribute the completed CD.
With the special permission and blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God, considered by the Orthodox Church to be wonderworking, will also be traveling with the choir, accompanied by Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan. The icon will be in Saratov, Russia, from August 20th-28th, 2019, including during services for the feast of the Dormition. On the evening of August 20th, the PaTRAM Institute Male Choir will be singing near Holy Protection Cathedral to greet the icon as it arrives in Saratov.
PaTRAM will hold a press conference regarding this special project on Thursday, August 22nd, at the Saratov Conservatory at 5pm before the concert, and include a question and answer period with Alex Lukianov, co-founder and CEO of PaTRAM, and Maestro Vladimir Gorbik and Katya Lukianov, co-founders of PaTRAM.
