Sing For Hope Presents the 7th Annual Sing For Hope Pianos Kickoff Event

Sing for Hope, the country's largest annual public arts project, is bringing the renowned Sing for Hope Pianos back to the streets of New York City this summer. The 2018 Sing for Hope Piano collection - which features the work of skilled artists, including Broadway casts of Kinky Boots, Dear Evan Hansen, The Play that Goes Wrong, and Wicked -- will be revealed to the public for the first time on Monday, June 4, beginning at 12 PM at 28 Liberty Plaza (28 Liberty Street).

The festivities will be kicked off by Sing for Hope Co-Founders, Camille Zamora and Monica Yunus, along with Lee Nadler, Regional Marketing Manager for MINI USA, followed by a concert of Bach's Minuet in G, from 50 Sing for Hope Pianos being played simultaneously.

Featured performers will include the Broadway cast of Wicked, Sarah Dash (of Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles), Lucky Chops, Daphne Rubin-Vega, kids from the Harlem School of the Arts choir, Music and the Brain, among others.

This year, Sing for Hope teamed up with MINI USA for #DrivingHope, a partnership motivated by their shared passion for bringing creativity to communities. MINI USA created a piano on wheels - the #MINIPiano which will travel to pop-up concerts featuring special guests around the five boroughs from June 4-24.

The Sing for Hope Pianos reach an estimated 2 million New Yorkers annually each June. After their time on the streets concludes on June 24, the Pianos will be donated to 50 New York City public schools, which were selected through a competitive RFP process.
