On May 30, a small orchestra at Carnegie Hall will perform an original song written by University of Puget Sound graduate Madison Hening ’26. Hening’s piece, titled “Lily Rose,” was written for a class as part of the Lullaby Project, which pairs new and expectant parents with artists to compose personal lullabies for their families.
For Hening, it all started when she signed up for Music 323: Making Music for Public Good, taught by Tracy Doyle, professor and director of the School of Music. A classically trained pianist and violinist who started playing at a young age, Hening didn’t have any prior songwriting experience, but she was drawn in by the chance to support families whose babies had recently left the NICU through music.
“When I heard that the music elective MUS 323 would involve working with families that had graduated from the NICU, I was immediately intrigued. This class would be a way for me to combine two of my interests — music and medicine. I have prior experience volunteering as a musician in hospitals and this class was a way for me to continue using music as a tool for healing in the context of medical trauma," Hening said.
