About Sing for Hope
“What Sing for Hope does is
wonderfully simple. It maintains
a roster of compassionate, worldclass
artists who donate time
and talent to the humanitarian
causes that inspire them.”
—Dr. Muhammad Yunus
2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and
Sing for Hope Board Member
Founded by opera singers with a
desire to lift their voices for social
change, Sing for Hope mobilizes
more than 600 world-class
artists— from classical musicians
to photographers to Broadway
performers — who donate time
and talent in our volunteer service
programs that benefit schools,
hospitals and communities.
Sing for Hope is an “artists’ peace
corps”, and our three volunteer
service programs are:
Art U! dynamic arts and
leadership education for more
than 2,000 under-resourced
youth each year
Healing Arts in-hospital
performances and workshops for
more than 1,500 patients each year
Community Arts events that
raise awareness and funds
for humanitarian causes, and
projects that dismantle barriers
to arts accessibility
Each Sing for Hope project is defined
by the needs of the community, the
generosity of professional artists,
and our belief in the transformative
power of the arts.
About Play Me, I’m Yours
and Luke Jerram
Touring internationally since
2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is an

Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice
involves the creation of sculptures,
installations, live arts projects and
gifts. Since his professional career
as an artist began in 1997, Luke has
created a number of extraordinary art
projects that excite and inspire people
around him. After the two-week Play
Me, I’m Yours installation, Sing for
Hope will donate all 60 pianos to local
schools and hospitals, enriching local
communities for years to come.

piano, so we are bringing pianos
to the people. This project is made

peace corps’ – professional artists
from New York’s leading companies
who volunteer in Sing for Hope’s
outreach programs.”
