About Sing Out For Freedom

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. Learn more about our past shows.
