On Tuesday, May 5th, the Harmony Program held its 2026 gala, filling Sony Hall with leaders across music, media, and philanthropy to celebrate its work providing year-round music study and performance opportunities to children across New York City. The gala evening, hosted by Adriana Diaz, Co-Host of CBS Saturday Morning, honored Harmony Program Board member and SoundCloud CEO, Eliah Seton, for over a decade of organizational leadership, and Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning artist, Ben Platt. Featured musicians included students from four of the Harmony Program’s six choirs and orchestras, as well as Ben Platt, singing side-by-side with Harmony’s young musicians in a finale performance.
This annual event is critically important to our organization’s efforts to put music education within reach of all NYC children.

Meet Walter! Walter joined the Harmony Program at age 10 and became part of a community where he can learn, grow, and be surrounded by others who love playing music as much as he does.
"Harmony exposes kids - and even their families - to the joy of music and making music. This impact changes the lives of all who are a part of it for the better. To support Harmony is to support the arts, education, passion, and also families. Your gift will truly be a gift that keeps on giving." Karin, Walter's Mom
