Elisabeth Von Trapp making her first Colebrook appearance at the Monadnock Congregational Church in a concert presented by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts.
Elisabeth, the third generation of the Von Trapp family, brings the music celebrated in the story of her famous family, “The Sound of Music,” to new audiences with her stunning renditions of songs like “These Are A Few of My Favorite Things” and “Edelweiss.” But Elisabeth is so much more, including in her concerts songs that keep the traditions of folk music alive here in the 21st Century.
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.”

The Great North Woods Committee for the Arts presents Bob Amos and Catamount Crossing at the Monadnock Congregational Church in Colebrook.
Enjoy a night of top-flight bluegrass by one of the region’s favorites. Bob Amos and his crew roll over from Vermont to show why they have become one of the biggest draws every year during St. Johnsbury’s First Night.
Bob Amos first became an internationally recognized and acclaimed bluegrass musician and songwriter as the leade of the popular award-winning band Front Range. From 1990-2003, Front Range recorded seven CDs, and received top reviews and heavy airplay on bluegrass radio programs throughout the world. Over many years Amos has been universally praised for his musical arrangements and origina bluegrass material.
The group features Bob on banjo, guitar and vocals, his daughter Sarah Amos on vocals, Freeman Corey on fiddle, Gary Darling on mandolin and vocals, Steve Wright on guitar and vocals, and bassist Chris Cruger.
The band puts on an entertaining high-energy show, with stellar harmonies, rock solid instrumentation, top-shelf original material, plus great new interpretations of some bluegrass classics.
Cantrip is an Old Scots word meaning a “charm, magic spell or piece of mischief” and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in the group’s musical arrangements and the compelling potency of their musicianship.
Originally formed as a quartet, Cantrip sprung from a local session in Edinburgh 15 years ago. Their driving music immediately caught the attention of the masses, and they were quickly signed to the Foot Stompin’ label. With their first album “Silver” (2001) in hand, Cantrip made its way across the water to the US, where they were received with roars and shouts (of enjoyment). After years of touring, Cantrip began producing albums on their own. Two albums later (“Boneshaker” 2005 & “Piping the Fish” 2008), Cantrip had cemented itself as a perennial band. Cantrip then redefined its sound.
Now a trio, the band tightened its arrangements while expanding its influence. New inspirations added to their sound, complementing the traditional foundation of the band. The enhanced sound has been catching the ears of listeners & concert goers all over again.
Advance tickets are available at Gorham Town Hall, White Mountain Café & online at www.medallionoperahouse.org. The concert is sponsored by Mt. Washington Auto Road and Libby’s Bistro.
