Patrick Grahl was initially a member of the St. Thomas Boys' Choir and later studied singing in his hometown of Leipzig as well. During his studies, the tenor already gained experience on the opera stage. In 2016, he was awarded 1st prize at the Leipzig Bach Competition, which opened many doors for him as an oratorio and concert singer. He has already worked with conductors such as Daniele Gatti, Manfred Honeck, Ton Koopman, Andrew Manze, Omer Meir Wellber, and Hans-Christoph Rademann.

The Dresden Kreuzchor is one of the oldest and most famous boys' choirs in the world. Even after more than 800 years, one of its most important tasks is to sing in the liturgical services of the Kreuzkirche on Dresden's Altmarkt, where it performs in vespers and church services and regularly gives concerts with outstanding works of sacred music. In addition, the Kruzianer, who have been singing under the direction of Martin Lehmann since 2022, regularly go on tours at home and abroad as cultural ambassadors for Dresden.
