The Russian Patriarchate Choir, also known as the Patriarchal Choir, is an eminent ensemble deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Russian Orthodox choral music. With an emphasis on the spiritual and historical essence of the Russian ecclesiastical music tradition, the choir specializes in a repertoire that spans from early Russian plain chant to works from the 16th to the 20th centuries. The ensemble's profound interpretations and authentic soundscape are the result of the choir's dedication to preserving the sacred art forms that have been passed down through generations.

Founded and conducted by Anatoly Grindenko, The Russian Patriarchate Choir has established itself as a leading interpreter of Russian liturgical music. Distinctive in their approach, the choir often performs a cappella, reflecting the customs of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Their discography, which includes titles such as "Christmas and Easter Singing 16th-17th Centuries," "Divine Liturgy: Feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul," and "Russian Easter (The Canon of Saint John Damascene)," showcases not only their mastery of ceremonial hymns but also their versatility in capturing the nuances and complexities of different historical periods. Renowned for their deep, resonant basses and crystalline harmonies, The Russian Patriarchate Choir delivers performances that are both spiritually enriching and musically exquisite, resonating with audiences around the globe.
