Night of Inspiration is an evening that intertwines music, spoken word, and dance into a mesmerizing tapestry of artistic expression. It brings together vocal heavyweights from both secular and non-secular communities, uniting their talents to  transcend boundaries and ignite inspiration. Supported by a magnificent 64-piece orchestra and a 150-voice mass choir, led by Maestro Ray Chew; the event premiered with great acclaim at the illustrious Carnegie Hall in 2010. Its resounding success has led to bi-annual performances at this iconic venue, and plans to expand throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa are currently in the works.

Be Inspired.

“From his earliest days in New York City, Ray Chew has been recognized as a unique and immensely gifted musical talent by so many iconic artists, composers and producers which has proven him to be one of America’s greatest band leaders! What makes “Night of Inspiration” so aptly titled is not only the amazing night I participated in, but also the man it represents, Ray Chew.”

"Being a guest artist at Ray and Vivian Chew's "Night of Inspiration" is an artist's dream. The colloborations are truly special moments that may never be seen again. Ray Chew, with his diverse musical abilities allows each artist to step outside of the musical formats that we are known for to become students again of musical exploration. Bravo!"

"Night of Inspiration at Carnegie Hall, is one of my favorite interfaith events. It’s more than just making beautiful music with wonderful people, but a chance to feel solidarity in times when we need to be present in each other’s struggles and triumphs. I am always eager to come back each year."
