We at Sing for Hope knew that June 1 would be a long, busy day. We also knew that it would be an extraordinarily gratifying one. After over a year of planning, our pianos were finally open for business.
The Sing for Hope team is thrilled to receive a Congressional Citation from Congressman Jerrold Nadler in honor of the third annual launch of our Sing for Hope Pianos and our year-round arts outreach programs.
Sing for Hope wanted to ensure that we sent our 88 pianos out into the city with a bang, so on May 16, we invited some of our closest friends and supporters to the first-ever Sing for Hope Pianos Launch Party.
Sing for Hope’s Volunteer Artist Roster is the fuel that drives our engine of arts advocacy. Without our volunteers, we could not pursue our mission to bring the transformative power of the arts wherever it is needed most.

This year, we brought together over 30 creative professionals from our Volunteer Artist roster with high schoolers from across NYC for two memorable weeks of arts study.
