Carole King’s gift to her high school, a “Beautiful” piano
Sing for Hope, the nonprofit organization famous for placing pianos in public spaces around New York City to allow everyday residents to enjoy music outdoors, has a special gift for Brooklyn’s James Madison High School.
A Sing for Hope piano that was painted by the cast of the hit Broadway show “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” is being donated to James Madison High School, which just happens to be King’s alma mater.
“Beautiful” tells the story of King, the singer-songwriter and music icon whose 1971 album “Tapestry” is one of the highest selling albums in history.
