Leeward CC<\/abbr>’s Hawaiian Ensemble will perform lullabies on April 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What’s in a lullaby? Why do these nighttime songs occur in every culture and get passed down for generations? Why does it matter to have those verses to murmur while rocking a fretting baby? The Leeward Theatre<\/a> at Leeward Community College<\/a> is proud to partner with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute<\/a> for The Lullaby Project<\/a>, a program that gives parents and caregivers the opportunity to write and record a song for their babies or very young children.<\/p>\n

Leeward CC<\/abbr> Music Professor John Signor<\/strong> has been working with caregivers and professional award-winning singers and musicians to create an inspiring evening length concert on Saturday, April 2 at 7:30 p.m.<\/abbr> Leeward CC<\/abbr>’s Hawaiian Ensemble will premiere these new lullabies, and are joined by guest vocalists Naeha Breeland, Nara Cardenas, Analiese Esopenko, Starr Kalahiki, Kristian Lei and Sharon Myung.<\/p>\n

Lullabies performed live in concert are also recorded and uploaded to a National SoundCloud site<\/a> administered by Carnegie Hall.<\/p>\n
