Each year, Sing for Hope’s Gala raises awareness and support for our outreach programs that bring the healing power of the arts to communities in need.  The evening features performances by leading Sing for Hope Donor Artists from the Metropolitan Opera and Broadway, and conversation with renowned philanthropic and artistic leaders.  All proceeds support the charitable mission of Sing for Hope, which in the words of Sing for Hope Board Member Renée Fleming, “is dedicated to bringing the healing power of art to those who need it most.”

Healing Arts brings live performance to patients in healthcare facilities, with special focus on elder care, rehabilitative, and palliative care facilities. Sing for Hope artists offer solo, ensemble and collaborative performances and workshops in patients’ rooms and in group recreation areas, tailoring performances to patients’ and care-givers’ needs. These performances provide the gift of therapeutic music, complementing the healing process and providing respite, entertainment, and uplift for patients, families and caregivers.

For Donor Artists:

Never performed in a hospital before? Here’s some basic information for you to give you a clearer idea of what happens during this life-enhancing experience. Because the Sing for Hope Healing Arts program consists of individual performances in patients’ rooms, it is best suited for musicians with portable instruments and singers who enjoy performing a capella. When choosing material, please keep in mind the nature of your hospital audience. Positive, uplifting, and generally peaceful selections will resonate most meaningfully for your listeners here; you are providing the gift of therapeutic music for people who greatly benefit from it. A Sing for Hope Project Leader familiar with the medical facility will be be there to oversee the room-to-room musical programming and interface with patients and hospital staff. He/she is there to support you, and in general be a resource for you within the hospital performance environment.

Sing for Hope congratulates our Co-Founding Director Camille Zamora for being honored by the World Harmony Run with a Torch-Bearer Award!  The Torch-Bearer Award recognizes people who have inspired their nations and communities through their own lives and deeds. Previous Torch-Bearer Awardees include sports iconoclast Billie Jean King and Dr. Davidson Hepburn, President of the General Conference of UNESCO.

The award ceremony took place as part of the closing events for the World Harmony Run, a global event promoting international understanding, at the United Nations’ Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, on Monday, August 23 in New York City.

Sing for Hope Donor Artists Amy Justman and Brian Neff performed alongside the New York City Housing Authority Youth Chorus, led by Larry Matthew.  Numerous UN Ambassadors, members of the diplomatic community and World Harmony Run Coordinators from over 100 nations were in attendance.

Founded in 1987 by world harmony visionary Sri Chinmoy to promote international understanding, the World Harmony Run is now the world’s longest global relay. During the course, relay teams carry the World Harmony Run torch over 45,000 miles through 100 countries. Here in the US, an international team will cover 10,000 miles visiting all 50 states.

For more information about the World Harmony Run, visit its official website here, or read coverage by The Epoch Times.

Sing for Hope salutes Camille for her leadership and vision in guiding Sing for Hope’s programs that bring the healing power of the arts to communities in need.  Brava, Camille!!
