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. Building on her famed family's legacy, Elisabeth has created her own musical 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 von Trapp's performances range from Bach to Broadway. With equal ease and beauty, she sings timeless wonders like Rodgers & Hammerstein's Favorite Things and Edelweiss; soaring Gospel tunes; pop classics like A Whiter Shade of Pale; and her own stunning compositions. She is accompanied by acclaimed cellist Eric Kory. No one leaves an Elisabeth von Trapp performance unchanged. Audiences of all ages are drawn by the promise of her famous name and awed by the haunting beauty of her voice and musical arrangements. Their hearts are touched forever by the astonishing sound of her unique new music.
