The American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) has come to a new three-year collective bargaining agreement with Music Sacra.

The agreement, which includes a 10 percent wage increase throughout the contract’s duration, goes into effect on Sept. 1, 2025 and runs through August 31, 2028. There will also be strengthened hiring practices through the creation of a Season Chorus List as well as a new Auxiliary List. Both lists will be governed by a formalized, inclusive audition and notification process.

“Our new three-year agreement reflects a continued spirit of collaboration between Musica Sacra and the artists who bring its music to life,” said the New York Area Concert Singers Committee, which represented the singers of the Sacra shop for this round of collective bargaining with Musica Sacra. “We’re proud of the progress made around compensation and job security, and in affirming our voices as artists within the broader vision and operations of Musica Sacra.”

Musica Sacra was fonded in 1964 and is led by Music Director Kent Tritle.
