Admission is not first come, first served. All applications received by the deadline are treated the same.

Sing For Hope

Sing for Hope. Celebrate 5 years of The Sing for Hope Pianos, a community arts program, with a launch event. The Sing for Hope Pianos program has placed 286 public instruments throughout NYC, making the city host to more street pianos than any other in the world. 

Sing for Hope selects local and international artists to create pianos that are then placed in parks and other public spaces for two weeks every summer. Through a special partnership with the New York City Department of Education, Sing for Hope will then place all of the Sing for Hope Pianos permanently in NYC public schools, benefiting thousands of school children. One piano also will be donated to one of the NY-area veterans’ care centers where Sing for Hope provides year-round arts programming.
