In honor of Sing for Hope's 25th Anniversary, we're celebrating a quarter-century of creative impact by placing 25 artist-designed Sing for Hope Pianos across New York City's five boroughs for Sing for Hope Pianos NYC: 2026. For every year we've spent harnessing the power of the arts to create a better world, a new playable masterpiece will be activated within our city's parks and public spaces.

To bring these vibrant works of art to life, we invite you to NYC SINGS, a citywide invitation to step out of the daily rush and into a moment of shared joy. On May 30–31 and June 6–7, Sing for Hope Pianos NYC: 2026 serves as the backdrop for a five-borough celebration, transforming public spaces into places of belonging through the power of collective song.

NYC SINGS will be activating the Sing for Hope Pianos at a selection of the city's most beloved parks and public spaces across all five boroughs. Locations will include sites like Union Square Park, Bushwick Inlet Park, Astoria Park, Williamsburg Oval Community Center, Greenbelt Nature Center, and more! Check back soon for our official schedule and final location reveals!

Why We Sing

After hosting group singing sessions throughout New York City, we've seen how a simple song helps us connect with one another, bringing neighbors and strangers together in a collective moment of joy.

NYC SINGS is your invitation to be part of that transformation. Join us at a Sing for Hope Piano for artist-led singalongs designed for everyone. Whether you are a lifelong singer or haven't sung a note in years, come as you are and feel the energy of the city singing with you.

Help Us Shape the "New York City Songbook"

What song reflects your story? What melody captures your favorite NYC memory or celebrates your culture?

We are building a living NYC Songbook, a collection of the anthems, lullabies, and favorites that define our five boroughs, and we want your voice to be represented. These are the songs that will echo through our parks and plazas this spring.
