This summer, from June 1st through June 16th, the Sing for Hope Pianos return to our city streets. In one of New York City’s most vibrant public art installations, 88 artist-designed pianos (one for each key on a piano) are placed in parks and public spaces throughout the five boroughs for anyone and everyone to enjoy. Pelham Bay Park is fortunate to host two pianos – one in the formal gardens at Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and one in front of the Main Pavilion of Orchard Beach.
