St. Martin’s also does education outreach events at schools throughout the Denver metro area. Pay for the 2026-27 Season is at minimum $100 per service (a standard concert week of five rehearsals and two concerts would yield $700).

Singers hired by St. Martin’s are responsible for having and maintaining authorization to be employed in the United States of America. St. Martin’s does not currently reimburse travel expenses if you travel from out of town.
