Thursday April 16, the volunteer Peace of the Heart choir called to sing New York, New York, Frank Sinatra’s homage to this supposedly never-sleeping metropolis, a symbol of urban turmoil silenced for a month. This great classic echoed in certain neighborhoods for ten minutes, coming from numerous windows and balconies – thousands across the city, according to the number of people who had indicated on the event’s Facebook page wanting to participate.
