___________________________________________________________________
The PaTRAM Singers' Summer Academy will be held June 27th-30th at St. Alexander Nevsky in Howell, NJ. The Academy will offer both a Singer's Program and a Male Choir Program.
Participants of the Academy will have an opportunity to sing the Hierarchical All-Night Vigil and Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, which will be officiated by His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion and celebrated by His Grace Bishop Luke of Syracuse.
The Male Choir will be conducted by GRAMMY NOMINATED Maestro Vladimir Gorbik while Maestro Benedict Sheehan (singer on the Grammy nominated "Teach Me Thy Statutes" CD) 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 Dr. Richard Barrett and Maria Sheehan.
Additionally, Dr. Nicholas Reeves will support both choirs with Musicianship classes!
We STRONGLY SUGGEST arriving on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26! Classes start early morning Thursday, June 27.
Lunches, a special outing at the Bear & Birch Russian Spa and closing banquet are included.
