The PaTRAM Institute All-Male Choir™ recorded the CD from June 22nd thru June 25th, 2022 at the Church of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives, with multi-Grammy award winning production company, Soundmirror, led by multi-Grammy winning producer Blanton Alspaugh and multi-Grammy winning recording engineer, John Newton.

The reviews of the new CD have begun to be published and are stellar, even exuberant. Ralph Moore, of MusicWeb International said, “..this new version of Rachmaninov’s masterpiece is sung with great reverence and dignity; both the direction and the engineering are impeccable.”

This truly was an epic tour for our choir. We are overjoyed and humbled to visit the holiest of holy places."
