In this episode, we sit down with Sara Shakliyan, a choir director whose work is reshaping what parish music can sound and feel like.Having worked closely with Fr. Jack in his previous assignment, Sara shares how she has grown a choir from the ground up by blending the richness of classical hymns with the immediacy of praise and worship. Rooted in tradition yet alive with intention, her approach honors the Mass while calling musicians to something deeper.This conversation explores leadership, discipline, and why holding musicians to a high standard is not about perfection, but about reverence, responsibility, and love for the liturgy. Sara speaks honestly about forming musicians who show up prepared, prayerful, and committed in a way that is still uncommon in many Catholic parishes.An episode for anyone who believes sacred music should both elevate the soul and invite full participation. A reminder that excellence, when offered to God, becomes an act of worship.
