Photo Essay: Pan Am Games 2015 Kick Off

The city of Toronto kicked off a 3-year count down to the Pan Am Games 2015 that will be hosted in Toronto.  My kids participated in part of the events with their music school.  Their performance was on 41 pianos which represents 41 countries.  Each piano has a unique design that pays homage to the culture of that country.  All of them marked "Play Me, I Am Yours". All of these pianos will be placed around Toronto and anyone can play on them.  In addition to the 41 pianos, there are many other musical performances.  Drums, electric string quartet and many others.
