Born and raised in Vermont, Elisabeth is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron Von Trapp, whose story inspired <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>. Singing professionally since childhood, Elisabeth has enthralled audiences from European cathedrals to Washington D.C.\u2019s Kennedy Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Inspired by her father Werner Von Trapp\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Building on her famed family\u2019s 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 \u2026 &#8220;hauntingly clear,&#8221; &#8220;joyfully expressive,&#8221; and &#8220;simply beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Elisabeth&#8217;s concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway \u2026 Schubert to Sting. With equal ease and eloquence she sings timeless wonders like Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019s Favorite Things and Edelweiss, Lieder by Mozart, Puccini\u2019s o Mio Babbino Caro, soaring gospel tunes, pop classics like a Whiter Shade of Pale and her own stunning compositions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Her cathedral program includes sacred and secular music extending from Gregorian chants, songs by 12th century mystic Hildegarde of Bingen, early American hymns, spirituals and psalms set to her own compositions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Tuesday, April 16, 2019 \u2022 7:00pm<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">University of Connecticut Choir<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Presented by the UConn Ensemble in Residence<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Sunday, April 14, 2019 \u2022 4:00pm<br \/>\nWaterbury Chorale Spring Concert<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mozart &amp; Bruckner: Visions of Vienna<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Featuring Mozart&#8217;s <em>Requiem<\/em>, Anton Bruckner&#8217;s <em>Te Deum<\/em>, and other choral works.

Albums such as Jarrett&#8217;s Life Between the Exit Signs and Corea&#8217;s Now He Sings, Now He Sobs are distinguished in the catalogue of modern jazz piano trio music and have been pivotal in the way jazz piano is perceived. These works incorporate elements of avant-garde jazz with those of the traditional jazz idiom. Likewise, Prospectus juxtaposes simple and complex melody and harmony to create a variety of textures that exhibit the flexibility that the jazz piano trio offers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The title &#8220;Prospectus&#8221; means &#8220;view, sight, or horizons&#8221; in Latin and is used in English to refer to a document that advertises a business in order to inform clients or investors.
