Presented by Elsa Wolff: The Sound of Music won five Academy Awards. Maria von Trapp and her real-life story is more captivating than the film. Matriarch of the Trapp Family Singers, Maria is a woman of passionate faith and uncompromising determination. Her life takes her from orphan to Baroness, from postulant at Nonnberg Abbey to mother of 10. Maria boldly leads her family from being refugees leaving Nazi-invaded Austria to becoming an internationally known singing group. In this program, Maria enjoys comparing what people think they know about her from the musical with the true story. Using humor, story and music, Elsa draws the audience in with this personal portrayal of Maria. A meal will be served.
