The Saint Ephraim Male Choir was founded in 2002 by Tamás Bubnó, a Hungarian church musician and conductor. The choir started to participate regularly in Byzantine liturgical services, mostly in Greek Catholic Churches in Budapest and other Hungarian cities. The ensemble took its name Saint Ephraim, the Syrian (306-373), who was the first great Byzantine hymnographer.

In 2006 the choir won first prize in the category of Professional Chamber Choir in the 25th Anniversary Competition of the Hajnówka International Festival of Orthodox Music in Poland.
In the last couple of years they have given concerts in Berlin, Bratislava, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Moscow, Paris, Rome, St. Petersburg, Warsaw and Vienna, and have toured Argentina, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Poland, Serbia, Uruguay as well. The Saint Ephraim Male Choir has also performed at the most prominent festivals in Hungary.
