The Lullaby Project, facilitated by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute nationwide, is coming to Hawai’i for its second year. In 2016 there were fourteen projects in different parts of the country. This year, Leeward Community College's Hawaiian Ensemble, will spearhead the arranging, recording and performing of the new Hawai’i-based lullabies along with students and faculty from UH West O’ahu and Honolulu Community College's Mike Curb MELE Studios, and are joined by guest songwriters and vocalists from the community. Additionally, musicians from the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra will join the project.

The Hawai’i-based sponsoring arts organizations are Leeward Community College Theatre, the UH West O’ahu Humanities|Music Program, and Honolulu Community Collegeʻs Mike Curb MELE Studios.

This year, The Lullaby Project involves expecting moms from Catholic Charities Mary Jane Home, student-parents from UH West O'ahu and Leeward Community College, and parents from other community partnering organizations including Alu Like and the Family Hui Hawai'i.
