Make Music Day KC: Plan Your Route

Welcome to Kansas City-the town I love! As the world arrives for a summer of soccer, music, theatre, festivals, and celebration, Divas, Ingénues & Vixens is kicking off a special June series exploring the people, places, and experiences that make Kansas City unforgettable. In this episode, Amity takes listeners on a musical journey through the city with a simple challenge: Plan Your Route. Inspired by memories of her grandfather, the streetcar, and a lifelong love of Kansas City, Amity explores how music helps us experience a city—not from the interstate, but from sidewalks, neighborhoods, parks, and unexpected encounters. Plus, a conversation with Heidi Markle, organizer of Make Music Day KC, about the global celebration that transforms Kansas City into one giant stage on June 21. Whether you're a lifelong Kansas Citian, a first-time visitor, or one of the thousands of international guests arriving this summer, consider this your musical welcome basket. Ride the streetcar. Follow the music. Discover the city. Because the best routes through Kansas City are rarely the ones we plan. They're the ones we find by listening.
