Summary An NGO, Sing for Hope, installs record number of free pianos in the streets of New York City.
For the second year in a row New York non-profit organisation, Sing for Hope, installed pianos around the five boroughs of New York City as a way to bring art to the people.Sing for Hopes pianos are expected to reach over two million people during a two-week run, the worlds largest street piano installation.Last year we had 60 uprights, this year we have 60 uprights plus 28 grands. So 88 because thats the number of keys on a piano keyboard. And the cool thing is that everyone of these amazing instruments is an individual created credited professional artwork, said Sing for Hope co-founding director Camille Zamora.All of these are pretty much, rehabbed, old, old instruments. So there come to us in pretty shaky shape - its kind of the ultimate urban recycling project, said Zamora.
