Pioneers for a Cure — Songs to Fight Cancer — brought artists and listeners together to support the fight against cancer through music. Artists donated their time and talent to create new recordings of old public-domain songs, each dedicated to a cancer charity of the artist’s choosing. The first collection reimagined an earlier Postcard Project: music was sent to musicians, inviting each to interpret it in their own way. The project grew to include an American Collection and music from other world traditions. Together, the recordings reflect the creativity of the artists and the generosity of listeners whose many small donations helped support the participating charities. LISTEN Play the whole collection, or any song on its own. Playback continues while you read and when you leave the app, with controls on your Lock Screen, in your car and in a Home Screen widget. THE ARTISTS Explore the artists, the stories behind their songs, the musicians who joined them and the charities they chose to support. You can also open the songs in Apple Music or Spotify. THE CHARITIES Browse the charities and discover the artists and songs recorded in their support. PIONEER PORTRAITS Mira Sasson painted artists from the project in oils. Explore her portraits in their own gallery, open them full screen and zoom in for a closer look. IN MEMORIAM Black ribbons honor participating artists who have since passed away and their contributions to the project. THE STORY Pioneers for a Cure began as a tribute to a beloved family member lost to cancer. Today, the archive endures as a tribute to everyone who helped bring it to life: artists, musicians, listeners, donors and the many others who contributed their time, talent and care. The project is no longer collecting donations. Pioneers for a Cure also honors the lasting influence of the late, great Red Burns, the visionary leader of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). Its use of music and technology to connect people and serve human needs reflects the spirit of her teaching and her enduring legacy.
