The sound of live music echoed through Ottawa City Hall this afternoon. It’s a new Christmas tradition in the Capital.

A baby grand piano was donated to the city today by well-known Ottawa wine expert Natalie Maclean.

The plan is to have the piano at Ottawa City Hall every Christmas, in the new-year it will move to its permanent home in the horticultural building at Lansdowne.

Residents are welcome to play the piano and the City of Ottawa wants you to record your performance and share it on social media #OttPiano.
