Monica Yunus
Soprano and Co-Founder, Sing for Hope
Soprano Monica Yunus has performed on some of the world's greatest stages including The Metropolitan Opera, where she is a frequent presence. She can be seen in several Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts ranging from The Magic Flute to Le Comte Ory to La Rondine.
Her concert and recital performances have taken her all over the world- in countries ranging from Spain, to Bangladesh, Guatemala and Lebanon and in performances with legendary singers such as Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Andrea Bocelli.
Ms. Yunus is a graduate of The Juilliard School, and is the Co Founder and Co Executive Director of Sing for Hope, the country’s leading “artists’ peace corps,” which presents projects - including NYC’s summertime street pianos - that make the arts accessible to all. Artists of all types volunteer their talent to communities in need and make art radically available.
Born in Chittagong, Bangladesh and raised in New Jersey, Ms. Yunus is the daughter of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus.
