Elisabeth Von Trapp

Elisabeth Von Trapp, granddaughter of the legendary Baron and Maria Von Trapp of Sound of Music fame, has been furthering the family singing tradition since childhood, enthralling audiences just as her forbears did. Elisabeth has created an artistic style all her own, drawing comparisons to ethereal vocalists like Judy Collins and Loreena McKennitt with a repertoire that ranges from classical to contemporary (“Bach to Broadway…Schubert to Sting.”) She’ll be performing a Cathedral program at Westminster Church on Sunday (Dec. 2) consisting of sacred and secular music extending from Gregorian chants to early American hymns, spirituals, and psalms set to her own unique guitar compositions. “Elisabeth Von Trapp: A Von Trapp Christmas” begins at 4pm. $10 suggested donation
