Elisabeth von Trapp in a Concert of Caring Saturday, Oct. 24 7pm St. John’s Lutheran Church 2477 W. Washington Street 793-3933 $15

Passionate, precise sound

Granddaughter of legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired The Sound of Music, von Trapp’s online biography states it best. “No one leaves an Elisabeth von Trapp performance unchanged...audiences of all ages are drawn by the promise of her famous name...awed by the beauty of her voice and musical arrangements...their hearts touched forever by the astonishing sound of her unique new music.” This benefit concert for Lutheran Social Services of Illinois concludes with a reception serving light refreshments and an opportunity to meet Ms. von Trapp.
