His “day job” is minister of music and arts at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, where he conducts choirs, plays for services, and heads up the Sacred Arts Festival, Durango Bach Festival and Durango Chamber Music Festival, as well as coordinating an annual series of four recitals and the Gallery at St. Mark’s, which hosts monthly art shows. “I’m grateful that St. Mark’s is giving me the freedom to help out at DAC,” Hagler commented.
