A group of musicians plays in an outdoor public square with a conductor leading them. The musicians, all men, are seated and dressed in white shirts and dark trousers. The conductor stands in front of them with his back to the camera. A large, ornate building forms the backdrop. The building has an arcade on the ground floor and a balcony on the second floor. A Bulgarian flag hangs from the balcony. A few people stand or sit in the square. One person is sitting on the edge of a fountain, recording the performance on a smartphone. The ground is paved with grey and red brick. The light is bright, and the shadows are long.
