The von Trapp Children:
Sofia-alto
Melanie-soprano
Amanda-alto
Justin- treble

With the light joyfulness of youth the von Trapps, Sofia, Melanie, Amanda and Justin, perform a variety of enjoyable folk and classical songs from various European and American traditions, including beloved pieces from "The Sound of Music". They are the descendants of the famous singing family whose story captivated the world in "The Sound of Music". As the great-grandchildren of Captain von Trapp, they have inherited the family's unique musical gift. The children have compiled an extensive repertoire of music, and in singing together as a family, they create a unique sound. Musicians and listeners of all ages recognize them for their beautiful harmonic blend and pristine tone.

The children have performed across the country, beginning with a 1997 celebration of their grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont. They have since performed at The Grand Ole Opry, Fox News Network, Good Morning America, Good Day New York and they have appeared with major symphonies throughout the United States.

Rueters New Service: "Close your eyes and it's like hearing the darlings from the movie all over again."

Associated Press: " The legacy was solidified as the foursome mesmerized audiences during a cross country tour recently."

Stowe Reporter: " With a musical heritage that precedes every recorded note The von Trapp Children ever sing, the foursome have been gaining accolades and praise for both their live performances and for their recorded self-titled album... The sound is beyond mellifluous."
