The Weston Playhouse

Weston Playhouse - Weston, VT

Thanks to the generous support of the Vermont Arts Council and the Puffin Foundation, we are excited to be performing with Elisabeth Von Trapp.

This year, the LRYO Symphony Orchestra will be joining Ellen Sager's Green Mountain Youth Orchestra in Weston for a joint concert. The two groups rehearse independently all Fall and will rehearse and perform together at the Weston Playhouse. Please come and enjoy a program performed by twice as many talented musicians!

Elisabeth Von Trapp

Elisabeth Von Trapp 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. 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.
