Deets: Sing for Hope officially kicks off its landmark 25th anniversary year on Monday, May 18, 2026, with the return of its signature activation: Sing for Hope Pianos NYC!
From 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, New York City’s Fosun Plaza (28 Liberty Street) will transform into an interactive, open-air gallery, inviting the public to play and engage with 25 new artist-designed Sing for Hope Pianos. At 12:00 PM, a celebratory special program will feature performances by the Sing for Hope HandaHarmony Youth Chorus, The Marching Cobras, Sonya Balsara & Rodney Ingram from the hit Broadway musical Aladdin, Ray Angry of The Roots, and Sing for Hope Co-Founders Monica Yunus & Camille Zamora.
A highlight of the free midday celebration will be the presentation of the 2026 Sing for Hope Art for All Award to award-winning actress, director, and arts advocate Laura Linney.
Immediately following the launch event, the 25 SFH Pianos will be deployed to NYC Parks and public spaces across all five boroughs for a three-week citywide residency. This collaborative activation invites and empowers the public to become part of the art itself, fostering spontaneous performance and breaking down barriers to arts access for all.
Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free and open to the public.
