Overview

From the Bronx to Beirut, the Sing for Hope Pianos program is a global arts initiative that creates artist-designed pianos; places them in public spaces for anyone and everyone to enjoy; then transports and activates them year-round in permanent homes in schools, hospitals, transit hubs, refugee camps, and community-based organizations. Sing for Hope has provided more pianos for under-resourced public schools than any other organization in the world.

The Sing for Hope Pianos is the country’s largest annually recurring public arts project, placing artist-designed pianos in parks and public spaces for anyone and everyone to play. Sparking impromptu music-making and connections, they create spontaneous moments of joy and community, bringing people together. And here’s the best part: the Sing for Hope Pianos are YOURS! They are free and open for all of your jam sessions, student performances, musically accompanied yoga sessions, dance-offs, workshop/classes, music videos, livestreams, and more. Your Sing for Hope Pianos’ creative opportunities are as boundless as your imagination.
