Elizabeth von Trapp Comes To The Lakes Region
Elisabeth Von Trapp will appear in concert at the Unitarian
Universalist Meetinghouse in Franklin on Saturday, April 21, 7 pm;
and at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia on Sunday,
April 22, 4 pm. Everyone is welcome.
Elizabeth von Trapp will offer concerts in Franklin and Laconia on
the weekend of April 21-22. On Saturday evening, April 21, 7 pm, she
will appear at the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse in Franklin;
on Sunday afternoon, April 22 at 4 pm, she will be at the Unitarian
Universalist Society in Laconia.
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. Inspired by her father Werner von Trapp’s guitar playing and
singing, Elisabeth has carried on the legacy of the internationally
renowned Trapp Family Singers. She began taking piano lessons when
she was eight and by the age of sixteen she was playing guitar and
traveling the back roads of New England performing with her siblings
at weddings, gospel meetings and town halls.
Building on her famed family’s passion for music, Elisabeth has
created her own artistic style, at once ethereal and earthy,
delicate and powerful. Listeners have likened her to Judy Collins
and Loreena McKennitt. Critics have called her voice "hauntingly
clear, joyfully expressive and simply beautiful."
Elisabeth’s concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway,
Schubert to Sting. With equal ease and eloquence she sings timeless
wonders like Rodgers and Hammersteins Favorite Things and Edelweiss,
Lieder by Mozart, Puccini’s O Mio Babbino Caro, soaring gospel
tunes, pop classics like A Whiter Shade of Pale and her own stunning
compositions.
The Unitarian Universalist Churches in Franklin and Laconia are
pleased to present these very special concerts to the community.
Seating is limited; doors open one-half hour before the event. There
is no charge but a collection will be taken and CDs will be on sale.
