ABOUT: Over the last four years, with support from the William Penn Foundation, the Philadelphia Lullaby Project has served more than 130 families, who learn about the project through partnerships with many Philadelphia community partners including Musicopia, Brightside Academy, Puentes de Salud, The Family Practice & Counseling Network, Esperanza Arts Center, Free Library of Philadelphia, Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Philadelphia, and Catholic Social Services Philadelphia.
The songs created by families and featured in the concert represent parents' hopes, dreams, and aspirations for themselves and their children. Throughout sessions, the project supports young families to explore their creativity, negotiate hard times, pass on experience and joy to their young ones, and share in the delight of music making.
