Details:
For Elisabeth von Trapp, “the sounds of music“ are part of her earliest memories. Born and raised in Vermont, Elisabeth is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired “The Sound of Music.” Singing professionally since childhood, Elisabeth has enthralled audiences from European cathedrals to Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center. And, on Wednesday, May 8, she will be appearing in concert at The Lutheran Church of Madison, 9 Britton Lane.
Elisabeth’s concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway—Schubert to Sting. With equal ease and eloquence she sings timeless wonders like Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Favorite Things” and “Edelweiss,” Mozart’s Leider, Puccini's “O Mio Babbino Caro,” soaring gospel tunes, pop classics like “A Whiter Shade of Pale” and her own stunning compositions.
In the spring of 2001 Elisabeth was granted permission from Robert Frost’s publisher, Henry Holt & Co., to sing parts of the poet’s work. “Poetic License,” released in June 2004, features the musical settings of poems by Frost and Shakespeare, a Japanese haiku and interpretations of “Over The Rainbow,” “What A Wonderful World,” Sting’s “Fragile” and Schubert’s “An Die Musik.”
Please join us on Wednesday, May 8, at 7 p.m., for an evening of inspiring music that you won’t forget. A free-will offering will be taken, a portion of which will go to the Music Ministry Fund of the church. After her performance, Elisabeth will be greeting her audience in the church lobby, where her CDs will be available for sale.
