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>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>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 \u201chauntingly clear\u201d, \u201cjoyfully expressive\u201d and \u201csimply beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elisabeths 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>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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. John&#8217;s Episcopal Church is delighted to present guitarist-vocalist Elisabeth von Trapp in concert on Sunday, October 6, at 4:00pm.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are not required, but advance reservations are available online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/elisabeth-von-trapp-in-concert-tickets-69590760839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EventBrite<\/a>. \u00a0 A minimum $10 is suggested as a free-will donation &#8212; to be given online, at the door, or during intermission. \u00a010% of the proceeds will benefit the Music Program at St. John&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>This is a concert you shouldn&#8217;t miss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[402,101,6],"tags":[397,106,104,105],"class_list":["post-7086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-concerts","category-music","category-news","tag-elisabeth-von-trapp","tag-episcopal","tag-st-johns","tag-waterbury"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7086"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12837,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7086\/revisions\/12837"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stjohnsonthegreen.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
