Sing for Hope is a non-profit organization founded by opera singers Monica Yunus and Camille Zamora. The two New York City based vocalists and alumnae of the Juilliard School established Sing for Hope as a resource for New York artists who want to use their art to give back to their community.
Sing for Hope Pianos Project
The Sing for Hope Pianos project, one of New York City's largest public art projects, brings artist-painted pianos to the parks and public spaces of the city. The pianos often feature formal and impromptu concerts and have been likened to an open festival of music bringing together New York’s culturally diverse population.
Following their two-week public residency, The Sing for Hope Pianos are donated to schools, healthcare facilities, and community centers. CBS News wrote that the project was "reminding us all of the power of music to inspire and unite".
