About this Program

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nz5sqGs7Qs&t=4s

Sing for Hope was proud to bring The Sing for Hope Pianos back to New York City during the summer of 2013. This year’s program was made possible by the generous support of Chobani, Inc., maker of America’s #1 selling yogurt brand, and in collaboration with the City of New York. Driven by the vision of “Art for All,” 

The Sing for Hope Pianos project selected artists from across the city to customize their own unique piano, which was part of a public art installation designed to make music accessible to the community. 88 pianos, representing the 88 keys on a keyboard, were placed throughout the five boroughs of New York City from June 1 - 16, 2013 so that professional and amateur musicians alike could take turns making music. 

The Sing for Hope Pianos Launch Event on Lincoln Center Plaza, June 2013

After the installation closed, the pianos were presented to under-served schools, hospitals and other local organizations, enriching our local City communities through art for years to come. 

“We’re thrilled that The Sing for Hope Pianos will return this year,” said Camille Zamora/Monica Yunus, star sopranos and Co-Founders of Sing for Hope. “These individually created piano masterpieces, combined with the sounds of everyday pianists, will once again fill our great city with a cultural experience unlike any other. 

Following the installation, these pianos have been donated to local organizations and continue to bring the arts to the communities where they find their new homes.” “As two entrepreneurial organizations united by a mission to provide equal access to everyone – whether it’s music or genuine food products – Chobani is proud to support Sing for Hope,” said Hamdi Ulukaya, president, CEO and founder of Chobani. “Through funding this inventive program and as members of the New York community, we are honored to be a part in deepening the role New York City plays as a thought leader in music and the arts.” 

Artists whom have previously donated their time and talent customizing a Sing for Hope Piano include fashion designers Isaac Mizrahi and Diane Von Furstenberg, visual artists Julian Schnabel and Scott Taylor, as well as students from New York Academy of Art.

About Sing for Hope 

The Sing for Hope vision of ART FOR ALL is informed by our belief that the arts have unique power to uplift and unite individuals and communities. Our outreach programs in NYC's under- resourced schools and healthcare facilities demonstrate this every day, and the Sing for Hope Pianos are a summertime celebration that bring this to every corner of our city. If you are one of the millions of New Yorkers who have played the outdoor pianos in Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and other parks and public spaces in the summertime, you know why The Sing for Hope Pianos are NYC's most beloved public art project. Additional support is provided by Sing for Hope’s Founders’ Circle including The Arnhold Foundation in honor of Sissy Arnhold, The Kellen Family Foundation, and Ann Ziff. 

About Chobani

That is why Chobani produces only the highest quality, best tasting products made with only natural ingredients out of its New Berlin, N.Y. plant and its new one million square-foot production facility in Twin Falls, Idaho. As part of Chobani's nothing but good philosophy, it is committed to supporting local farmers and strengthening its surrounding area economies. Chobani uses milk from local-area farms and gives 10% of its annual profits to charities worldwide through the Shepherd's Gift Foundation, the company's charitable arm.
