The problem
Sacred music hiring runs on word-of-mouth
and buried forum posts
The Catholic and Anglican liturgical music world employs thousands of trained musicians — organists, vocalists, choral directors, instrumentalists — yet has no professional infrastructure to connect them with parishes that need their skills. The entire hiring ecosystem operates through email chains, word of mouth, and informal Facebook community groups.
This is not a niche problem. CMAA membership counts over 10,000 active practitioners. NPM represents 8,000 more. Directors of music leave positions vacant for months because they cannot find vetted candidates. Musicians cobble together income from three or four part-time roles, each arranged through informal referral.
U.S. Catholic parishes, most with at least one paid music position, with no dedicated platform to fill it.
Platforms that handle musician discovery, contracts, 1099 disbursements, and liturgical repertoire in one place.
Facebook threads and email chains. The current state of the art for finding a cantor who can sing the Propers.
Built for every tradition we serve
What Cantori does
Every Tool a Liturgical Music Program
Actually Needs
Talent discovery
Search musicians by voice type, Latin proficiency, chant experience, liturgical rite, and geographic reach. No more guessing who in the diocese can actually sing a Graduale.
Contracts & payments
Hire for a single Mass or an entire season. Stripe handles disbursements and 1099s. Directors pay through the platform; musicians get paid reliably.
Program management
Repertoire planning, payroll tracking, Latin diction references, and scheduling for your entire sacred music program. The tools a director actually needs, not a generic HR platform.
Built for the liturgy
Ordinary Form. Extraordinary Form. Anglican Use. Ordinariate. Episcopal and Lutheran high-church. Cantori understands the distinctions that matter across every tradition it serves.

A chant engraver that
knows the rules
Everything on this page is engraved live by the app itself. Not a screenshot, not a mock-up: the same parser, the same font outlines, the same spacing that runs when you open it.
Look closely at any of them
Porrectus. The broad nib goes down and comes back up without lifting. Meinrad cuts one glyph per descent, in a curved and a straight form, and the rise decides which.
"The Church has always brought forth her most beautiful art
in service of the sacred liturgy.
Cantori continues that tradition."
Sacred Music Fundraising
Keep sacred music at the altar —
funded by your community
Cantori gives every parish a complete, secure fundraising suite — from a public give page to live campaign tracking and automatic milestone alerts — so directors can focus on the music and the office can focus on the stewardship.
A branded give page for every program
Each director gets a public giving page — parish name, banner, and a one-tap Stripe checkout. Share the link in the bulletin, on the parish website, or in the weekly email.
Campaigns with live progress bars
Launch a specific fund — a new hymnal, organ restoration, choir tour — and donors watch the thermometer climb in real time. General Fund giving flows alongside, no extra setup.
Automatic milestone alerts
When a fund crosses 25%, 50%, 75%, or its full goal, the parish office gets an instant email — so treasurers and pastors never miss a moment to give thanks or plan ahead.
Funds go straight to the church
Cantori Offertory connects the parish's own Stripe account. Donations route directly to the church's bank — Cantori never holds or touches the money.
A parish dashboard, not a spreadsheet
Treasurers get a secure portal: every gift logged, donor records, CSV exports, and a Stripe login to manage payouts — no login to the full app required.
Receipts & thank-yous, handled
Every gift triggers an automatic receipt to the donor and an acknowledgment flag for the office, so no gift goes unthanked and every contribution is tax-documented.
Collective Impact
Generosity in Real Time
Every gift through Cantori keeps sacred music alive at churches across the country. Watch the total grow live.
