During the course of the entire pandemic, Saint Luke’s made the commitment to retain all staff singers and other contracted musicians at full pay, regardless of the ability to perform in person.
Rehearsals are Thursdays 7:30-9 PM & Sundays 9-11:15 AM; compensation is $230/wk. Additional Evensong one Saturday per month ($230/call 3:30PM - 5:45 PM), and calls for various Holy Days throughout the season, (each non-Sunday morning service paying $230/call). Weddings, funerals, and other special events, which can be quite frequent, provide opportunities for additional compensation.
Saint Luke's is seeking a baritone/bass with excellent sight reading skills, a willingness to sing with occasional straight tone, and the ability to lead in a personable, caring manner.
