Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, in conjunction with the GSEC Music Ministry, will be hosting a concert by Elisabeth von Trapp on Wednesday January 29th at 7pm in the sanctuary.

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.

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 Hammerstein’s 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.

Stay tuned for more information and make sure to place this event into your calendar for 2020.
