Go to park and play – 51 pianos

A GROUP OF city green spaces got an acoustic boost courtesy of a music-loving nonprofit.

Sing for Hope placed 51 colorful pianos in public green spaces throughout the city Monday to encourage visitors to play.

“We’re all creative artistic beings, but too often in our busy modern lives we do not have a chance to do that,” said the nonprofit’s founder, Camille Zamora.

“The Sing for Hope pianos are about placing art front and center in the middle of life.”

The pianos have been placed in the middle of the Bronx’s Grand Concourse and around the bustling Coney Island Boardwalk.

When it rains, a team of staffers races to each location to cover the keys.

The pianos will remain in place until June 24. Afterward, they will be used by the group’s “Citizen Artist Schools,” which benefits over 80,000 public-school children each year.

“They are placed in these schools to activate creativity,” said Sing for Hope co-founder Monica Yunus.

The art installation, launched in 2006, follows a similar idea in England.
