About this Program

The Sing for Hope Pianos will take to the streets across Newport News, creating spontaneous moments of live music and joy throughout the community. On Thursday, March 28th, Sing for Hope will unveil 10 new Sing for Hope Pianos created by local artists, which will all be accessible in the Diamonstein Lobby of the Ferguson Center starting at 9 AM. The all-day public launch precedes a performance by acclaimed American pianist Drew Petersen, which will take place at 7:30 PM in the evening on the main stage. The celebration coincides with World Piano Day, which is the 88th day of the year, a nod to the 88 keys on the piano.
