Lunalilo HomeFollowing the death of High Chief William Charles Lunalilo in 1874, a trust for the service of his people was established in response of his will. The purpose of the will was to build a home for the poor, destitute and infirmed people of Hawaiian Ancestry. In 1879, the first Lunalilo home was built.
Many years later, the original home began deteriorating, becoming too costly to upkeep. So, in 1969, the current Lunalilo home was built. Their MissionThe mission is to continue to honor King Lunalilo's will, providing services to the elderly of Hawaii.

THE MUSIC: What support was received through this project?

One day, I'll be coming out to Hawaii Kai to visit the residents of the Lunalilo home. For half an hour, I'll be playing classical piano music, hopefully giving them sounds to attach and connect to. Music can do amazing things, and I hope to be an initiator of these amazing things.
