Die Trapp Familie
CD 301_Layout 1 26.08.14 16:59 Seite 14 Salzburg Parks. Für die rekonvaleszente Tochter Maria wird die erst 18-jährige Maria Auguste Kutschera, wel- che als Erzieherin im Kloster Nonnberg arbeitet, als Hauslehrerin eingestellt. Die in Wien geborene Waise gehört dem Bund Neuland an, einem 1919 gegründeten katholischer Verband, der sie nach- haltig prägt. Zwei Jahre später heiraten von Tapp und Maria, 1929 und 1931 werden zwei Töchter geboren. 1933 verliert von Trapp sein gesamtes Vermögen durch die Fehlspekulation seiner Hausbank. Die Hausangestellten werden entlassen, die Familie zieht in deren Zimmer unter den Dachstuhl und vermietet die Bel Etage an Festspielgäste und Künstler, unter anderem an die weltberühmte Wie- ner Sängerin Lotte Lehmann. Maria von Trapp gründet mit Hilfe des Hauskaplans einen Famili- enchor, und nimmt, ermuntert durch Lotte Leh- mann, 1937 an dem Volkssängerwettbewerb der Salzburger Festspiele statt, den sie gewinnen. Es folgt ein erstes Radiokonzert und das Angebot einer Konzertreise durch Amerika. 1938 erfolgt der Anschluss Österreichs an das Dritte Reich und der als kaisertreu bekannte Georg von Trapp befürchtet Repressalien, zumal er ein Konzert der Familie zu Hitlers Geburtstag abge- lehnt hatte.

Elisabeth Von Trapp
Elisabeth von Trapp Elisabeth von Trapp is the granddaughter of Maria von Trapp and Georg Ritter von Trapp, whose story inspired The Sound of Music. The Trapp Family Singers, which Maria and Georg founded in Austria and brought with them to the United States when they escaped Austria in 1938, included Elisabeth's father, Werner von Trapp. The Family Singers disbanded in 1957. Inspired by her father’s guitar playing and singing, Elisabeth has carried on the legacy of The Trapp Family Singers. Elisabeth 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. Her musical style takes from many genres, including modern and Gregorian Chant, Hymns, Psalms and Works by Hildegard von Bingen. She has performed in the U.S., Russia and Austria, including European cathedrals and Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. 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.” She is accompanied by the elegant arrangements of her guitar and acclaimed pianist, Evan Harlan.

Von Trapp® Brewing
von Trapp® Brewing “A little of Austria, a lot of Vermont”™ By the family that inspired “The Sound of Music” About Our Lagers Johannes von Trapp always loved the crisp, clean, locally brewed lagers that he found in small towns in Austria. All of our lagers are brewed here at the Trapp Family Lodge, using our own water from an artesian spring high up in our mountains. Brewmaster JP Williams uses traditional Austrian brewing techniques such as “de-coction” and “step-mashing” to increase the complexity of the flavor profile. In our new state-of-the-art Brewery we follow the Reinsheitsgebot - the German Law of Purity of Brewing. No adjuncts, no substitutes, no marketing hype... just beer the way it’s meant to be. Pint $4.95 Flight $6.98 John Patrick Williams, Brewmaster Stowe, Vermont vonTrappBrewing.com (802) 253-0900 Golden Helles Our lightest offering, “Helles” is German for “bright.” It is golden in color, and is a crisp, easy drinking beer for all occasions: a true session lager. It is our only filtered lager. 4.9 ABV 20 IBU Bohemian Pilsner Our award winning Bohemian Pilsner is light straw to golden in color. A touch of Munich malt is added to give the beer a sweet caramel finish.

Subtle hops, crisp, with residual sweetness. 5.2 ABV 33 IBU Dunkel Our Dunkel, meaning dark in German, boasts brilliant crimson hues from the large amounts of Munich malts which creates a fuller-bodied beer.
