2026 Concert
Monday, November 9, 2026
NYU Skirball
On Monday, November 9, the NYCLU and ACLU return to NYU Skirball for the 24th annual Sing Out for Freedom: The Sound of New York—an unforgettable night of music, celebration, and purpose, kicking off the New York Civil Liberties Union’s 75th anniversary year.
For 75 years, the NYCLU has been at the heart of the fight for freedom and equality in New York. This special evening will celebrate that extraordinary legacy while turning the spotlight toward the future—and the artists, advocates, and change-makers who continue to shape the sound, spirit, and soul of New York.
Join us for a uniquely New York night as some of the city’s most compelling voices come together to Sing Out for Freedom—celebrating how creativity, courage, and community can move us forward, while helping ensure the NYCLU has the resources to keep fighting for the rights and freedoms of all New Yorkers.
Stay tuned for an exciting lineup of special guests and performances to be announced in October!
Sing Out for Freedom was founded by Liana Stampur and Erich Bergen in 2002. Since then, this concert has celebrated the achievements of the NYCLU and ACLU with song and speech from big stars and up-and-coming artists from Broadway and beyond.

The Artist Ambassador program was created to help amplify the NYCLU’s fight for civil rights and liberties. The program engages, educates and empowers arts community members who are passionate about the intersection of art and social justice.
