The Saint Tikhon Choir is a renowned classical music ensemble that specializes in Orthodox liturgical music. The choir was founded in 2015 by Benedict Sheehan, a composer, conductor, and professor of music at St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. The choir is made up of professional singers from across the United States, many of whom have extensive experience in choral music and liturgical singing. The Saint Tikhon Choir has quickly gained a reputation as one of the finest ensembles of its kind in the world. The choir's performances are characterized by their precision, clarity, and emotional depth, and they have been praised for their ability to convey the spiritual and emotional power of Orthodox liturgical music to audiences of all backgrounds. One of the highlights of the Saint Tikhon Choir's early career was their performance at the 2016 All-Night Vigil at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in New York. The choir's performance of Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil was widely praised for its beauty and emotional power, and it helped to establish the choir as a major force in the world of Orthodox liturgical music. Since then, the Saint Tikhon Choir has gone on to perform at a number of major venues and events, including the 2017 Sacred Music Institute at St. Vladimir's Seminary, the 2018 PaTRAM Institute Summer Academy in New York, and the 2019 Orthodox Music Symposium in Minneapolis. The choir has also released several critically acclaimed recordings, including their debut album, "Praise the Lord: Russian Orthodox Choral Music," which was released in 2017. In addition to their performances and recordings, the Saint Tikhon Choir has also been recognized with a number of awards and honors. In 2018, the choir was awarded the prestigious Eastern American Diocese Award for Excellence in Church Music, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of Orthodox liturgical music. The choir has also been featured in a number of major media outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR. Despite their success, the Saint Tikhon Choir remains committed to their mission of sharing the beauty and spiritual power of Orthodox liturgical music with audiences around the world. Through their performances, recordings, and educational initiatives, the choir continues to inspire and uplift listeners of all backgrounds, and to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich musical traditions of the Orthodox Church.
