The Moscow Russian Patriarchate Choir

After more than 80 years, Hungary once again hosts the diverse programme series satisfying the spiritual and cultural needs of all age groups, the International Eucharistic Convention (5-12 September 2021). The one-week event includes a performance by the Moscow Patriarchate Orthodox Choir, formed from vocalists of the Holy Trinity St. Sergius Monastery located close to the Russian capital, in the early 1980s. The founder, theologist-musicologist Anatoly Grindenko, undertook the task of researching and presenting to the general public the traditional melodies and original tonal world of the ancient art of Russian church singing. At the International Eucharistic Convention, they perform their own repertoire as well as excerpts from the Choral Concert by Alfred Schnittke and works by Rachmaninov, complemented by artists of the Moscow State Academy Regional Choir.
