About the Event

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 works of art to life, 18 vocal ensembles will perform across two weekends in May and June. From community choirs to school groups, from gospel and barbershop to traditional Chinese and Korean music, these performances celebrate the simple, shared art of belonging. Find a piano near you and come listen.
