Plaza March

The Country Club Plaza, named after the surrounding Country Club neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, is a high-end shopping center developed by J.C. Nichols. The architecture of the buildings was created with European influences, particularly that of Seville, Spain. The Plaza opened in 1923 and has been continuously running, bringing visitors from around the world, as a popular tourist destination. The center includes horse-drawn carriages, five-star restaurants and hotels, and is adorned with beautiful statues and fountains. This music marries the sounds of Spain, particularly highlighting flamenco dance rhythms, with the Missouri State Song, entitled the Missouri Waltz. Young musicians will be challenged by the syncopated rhythms and shifting keys.
