How Music Connects Us: Harmony, Emotion & Legacy | Vibe Your Vibe

What happens when music becomes more than sound - when it becomes community, emotion, and spiritual connection?

In this episode of VibeYourVibe, Kirk sits down with Marc Strathman, an accomplished music director, educator, and performer, whose passion for harmony and choral music has touched thousands across St. Louis. From leading the historic Apollos at the Missouri Athletic Club to shaping the next generation of singers at Lindenwood University to orchestrating the powerful voices of the Ambassadors of Harmony, Marc shares a unique perspective on how music shapes culture, memory, and soul.

We explore:
⚫ Why harmony and rhythm matter as much as melody
⚫ The emotional depth of sacred music and lyric
⚫ The resurgence of vinyl and the nostalgia of mixtapes
⚫ His role in community choirs like Beer Choir STL and the national barbershop scene
⚫ How genres blend across generations, from jazz to synth to “newgrass”

Whether you're a music lover, a churchgoer, or someone who remembers waiting for the perfect moment to hit “record” on your cassette deck—this conversation will resonate.
