St. Martin's Chamber Choir, based in Denver, Colorado, is a professional, non-church affiliated vocal ensemble of 24 voices.
St. Martin's Chamber Choir, led by founder, Artistic Director and conductor Timothy J. Krueger, was created in 1994. The choir presents concert programs drawn from choral literature spanning from Renaissance motets, through 18th century Baroque and Classical works and Romantic partsongs, to masterworks of the 20th and 21st centuries and new pieces composed expressly for the ensemble. Although the group's repertoire is largely a cappella, St. Martin's has collaborated with such groups as the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado, the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra, the Confluence String Quartet, Stratus Chamber Orchestra and the Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra. The choir was also featured at the National Performing Arts Convention held in Denver in June, 2008.
The organization takes its name from the site of its first concerts, St. Martin's Chapel at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral in Denver.
The choir has released thirteen CD recordings.
St. Martin's Chamber Choir is supported by various corporate and private foundations and by the "Scientific and Cultural Facilities District" and Colorado Creative Industries (formerly the Colorado Council on the Arts).
Timothy J. Krueger, founder, Artistic Director and conductor of St. Martin's, studied musicology at the Wheaton College Conservatory, at the University of Colorado-Boulder, the Universität Hamburg, and the University of London's Royal Holloway College. He has worked professionally with such ensembles as the Santa Fe Opera, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Chicago a cappella, Vox early music ensemble (Ann Arbor, MI), St. John's Episcopal Cathedral in Denver, and the Ars Nova Singers of Boulder, Colorado. He is choirmaster of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Denver and a part-time faculty member at Metropolitan State College of Denver.
