The festival is part of an outreach program by SingforHope, a grassroots group of over 1, 000 artists who volunteer to make art broadly accessible to everyone.
"The piano is kind of the hardware for the software of our programming that goes on year round, " said Zamora, who founded SingforHope in 2006 with fellow opera singer Monica Yunus, launching the first piano festival in partnership with British artist Luke Jerram in 2010 when 60 pianos were featured.
