Aparna Nancherla is an author and actress who has provided a much-needed voice in the comedy scene since 2006. "Her sense of humor is dry, existential, and absurd, with notes of uncalled-for whimsy. Think a wine you didn’t order." Aparna weaves comedy into moments of vulnerability, strength, and ridiculousness and has paved a way for herself in a male-dominated field. Learn more about Aparna here.

Monica Yunus, a soprano hailed with a “voice that sparkles like the best of diamonds,” has performed all over the world - from Spain to Bangladesh, to Guatemala, and Lebanon - collaborating alongside legendary singers such as Plácido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, and Bryn Terfel to name a few. The first Bangladeshi-American principal artist at The Metropolitan Opera, Monica can be seen in numerous global broadcasts ranging from The Magic Flute to Le Comte Ory to La Rondine. A graduate of The Juilliard School, Monica is the Co-Founder of Sing for Hope, a leading arts peace corps that creates programs such as the Sing for Hope Pianos in public spaces from the Bronx to Beirut that promote the mission of art for all. She is the daughter of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus. Learn more about Monica here.

The Sing for Hope Chorus harnesses the power of the arts to create a better world. Our creative programs bring hope, healing, and connection to millions of people in hospitals, schools, care facilities, refugee camps, transit hubs, and community spaces worldwide. A non-profit organization founded in New York City in response to the events of 9/11, Sing for Hope partners with hundreds of community-based organizations, mobilizes thousands of artists in creative service, and produces artist-created Sing for Hope Pianos across the U.S. and around the world. The official Cultural Partner of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Sing for Hope champions art for all because we believe the arts have an unmatched capacity to uplift, unite, and heal.
