Russian Patriarchate Choir

The Russian Patriarchate Choir led by Anatoly Grindenko performs Russian Orthodox chant from the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Russian Patriarchate Choir lead by Anatoly Grindenko, perform Russian Orthodox chant from the 16th and 17th centuries.

For many years Russian Orthodox chant was rarely heard in its country of origin where it was suppressed. Then, once the Soviet Union had collapsed, it began to find a new popularity. This group of male singers was founded in the early 1980s and has succeeded in bringing this music to a wider public. Typically Russian, the choir is renowned for its astonishing basso profundo sonorities and raw emotional performances.
