• Calgary street pianos attracts musicians from all walks of life
• Crowdbreaks out into songin downtown Calgary

It's there for your enjoyment, courtesy of Nolan Matthias and his colleagues.The group heard of a piano donation project in Oregon at ateam building conference they attended.

They loved the idea so much that they bought one for $75 and painted it with the idea of giving it to the community to play.

It's not the first time pianos have appearedon the streets of Calgary.

Downtown Calgary installed a fewin the corefour years ago. They even offera concert series featuring musicians, which hasa fewmore dates coming up.

Piano to stay until winter

What is different this time is thatthe project isn't related in any way with the city.

Matthias and his colleagues faced one major problem, they had to find a legal place to leave their piano.They decided to leave it at a friend's businessin Inglewood as a surprise.

The piano will stay until the winter, then someone will adopt it so it's protected from the elements.

Matthiashopes other people will donate pianos and set them up in apublic place, although he is reminding those interested in doing so that they need to leave iton private propertyand you'll needtoget permission.
