Musicians gathered in Old Strathcona in Edmonton on Saturday to put on a performance for passers-by.
Pianists performed at the gazebo in Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park as part of Chopin in the Park.
It was a chance for the musicians to share their craft and bring some ambiance to the Whye Avenue area.
Performers ranged in age from seven years old to adults, including some with PhDs in music.
The festival was put on by the Canadian Polish Woman's Society.
'It's an international language, So it brings people together, and this is why it's made in the park, so that people can come sit for a while and enjoy the weather and move on, and then the next crowd comes,' Halina Madej of the society said.
A total of fifteen artists performed.
