About the Lullaby Project:
Conceived by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, the Lullaby Project uses the creative process of songwriting to improve well-being and childhood bonds with parents experiencing housing insecurity and other challenging life situations. It came to Portland in 2018 as a partnership with Path Home, a non-profit helping empower families experiencing homelessness to get back into stable, long-term housing. Musicians from the Oregon Symphony and local singer-songwriters, parents and parents-to-be create personal lullabies or love songs for their children through this project, expressing their hopes and dreams for the future.
Featured Oregon Symphony musicians include: Peter Frajola, Violin; Zach Galatis, Flute; Amanda Grimm, Viola; Marilyn de Oliveira, Cello; Jason Schooler, Double Bass; Inés Voglar Belgique, Violin.
Portland singer-songwriters for the event include: Marianna Thielen (Arranger and Artistic Director), Naomi LaViolette, Bre Gregg, Beth Wood, Stephanie Schneiderman, Marilyn Keller, Amenta Abioto (Yawa), Anna Tivel, Sarah Clarke, Coty Raven Morris, Edna Vazquez.
“At the Oregon Symphony, we believe in the profound impact of music as a tool for healing and creating community connections,” says Isaac Thompson, president and CEO of the Oregon Symphony. “We’re proud to be part of the Lullaby Project, which offers an intimate way for families experiencing homelessness and skilled singer-songwriters to discover how music has the ability to transcend barriers to create moments of beauty and human connection.”
“The lullabies that are co-created by the musicians and families who are experiencing homelessness are deep, heartfelt, and joyful,” said Brandi Tuck, Executive Director of Path Home. “These songs are a true display of how sharing one’s story can help individuals move closer towards healing from trauma.”
The symphony has a new partnership with Family Preservation Project of the YWCA at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.
