The great-grandchildren of Captain von Trapp keep the great tradition alive.
You'll love hearing once more the great tunes from ¬Å“The Sound of Music¬Â as well as their holiday favorites. Let the Season Begin!
The Sound of Music captured the hearts of millions when the film debuted in 1965. Now, forty years later, the von Trapp's family legacy is born anew. Meet Sofia, Melanie, Amanda, and Justin von Trapp. They are the great-grandchildren of Captain von Trapp, father of the famous singing family whose story captivated the world in the musical The Sound of Music. The siblings have continued the tradition of the family's exceptional musical gift and love of singing, sharing songs and heart-warming family stories of life before and after coming to America.
The von Trapp's perform a variety of folk and classical songs from various European and American traditions, as well as timeless pieces from The Sound of Music. Their effervescent voices mesh the way only a family's can, and musicians and audiences from all over the world recognize the families beautiful harmonic blend and pristine tone.
Our new Portland Events App for PDX Pipeline is now available for iPhones, Android phones and iPads!
Now, you can have all of the great Portland Holiday Events from our website in the palm of your hand when you're out on the town.

I would like to win the tickets because I just moved to Oregon and would like to go to the theater!
November 21, 2011 at 12:49
Thanks for the chance to win tickets. My 3.5 year-old daughter, Sienna, loves the Sound of Music. This would be a perfect first symphony experience and a memory we would always treasure.
November 21, 2011 at 12:51
oh my god, I love the Sound of Music!!
November 21, 2011 at 13:00
A night with the oregon symphony sounds like a great way to get ready for december and all the holiday cheer headed our way.
i’d love to go and spend an evening hearing some of these delightful songs.
November 21, 2011 at 13:17
I would be in a haze of Holiday Win if I got a pair of these tickets.
November 21, 2011 at 17:34
We grew up with the “Sound of Music” and would like to have our children and grandchildren to be able to experience them as well.
November 22, 2011 at 10:14
I would love to win the tickets because my husband is unemployed and this is going to be a very tight Christmas and he feels really awful about it. He loves The Sound of Music and to be able to have an evening seeing the Von Trapp children sing would make him very happy.

This would be a spectacular way to kick off the holiday season for our family. My three little, ladies ages: 10, 8, 6 adore the Sound of Music! They consider their singing comparable to that of the Von Trapp Family ;) They enjoy putting on living room performances to their favorite songs. Thank you for your consideration. Happy Thanksgiving!
November 22, 2011 at 16:17
I was just humming songs from the Sound of Music the other day. This would be a great Christmas treat!
November 22, 2011 at 17:23
I would love to take my 11 year old daughter for a night out at the Schnitzer. She is a budding singer and we have watched the Sound of Music multiple times over the years together. The sound of Music reminds me of the holidays as a child. We would watch the movie every year when it came on the TV around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I am grateful my mother exposed me to music as a child and gave me the opportunity to gain an appreicaton for the arts that I can now pass on to my daughter. Thanks!

I’d like to win tickets because I would very much enjoy revisting a place Ive always treasured and that the holidays spirit is alive and well..in this beautiful city of roses. I love the creativity of the people that make Portland a wonderful place to live and I definitely love the arts and many performances our city has to offer. I am guesing this event will easily be soldout. So I am very grateful just to have this opportunity to win tickets. I’m looking forward to many more fine performances

I have friends in from out of town for the holiday and we are low on cash but big on heart! I would love to win these tickets so I can take my friends to the show!
November 23, 2011 at 08:11
My daughter is five years old and is absolutely mesmorized by the sound of music’s songs. She first saw the movie this summer. A trip to hear the Von trapp family singers will help cement a love of music and song in her heart. We would live to win tickets!
November 23, 2011 at 10:25
Ohh, how fun. I would love to go! Please pick me. Yes, I am an adult and don’t have any kids to take but who cares! I am still a kid at heart.
November 23, 2011 at 10:36
I need these tickets so I can take my niece! Please pick me.
November 23, 2011 at 11:31
Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start! Pick me pick me, please!

My daughter was born and raised in Europe until she was 13. We have lived in Portland now for over 5 years but she still misses it. She loves musicals and I’d love to surprise with tickets to this production! She has a friend visiting from The Netherlands so doubly special. Hope you pick us!

The hills are alive with the sound of music!

November 24, 2011 at 11:24
the west hills are alive, with the sound of music…or the valley of nopo, where i actually live.
November 24, 2011 at 18:36
This continues the Von Trapp Family tradtions with versions of Songs sung by their Grandparents.
If I read correctly they will also be doing Christmas Songs, so this concert will be a great start to the Holiday Season.
My daughter who just turned 11 would enjoy this alot. Thank you.

The Sound of Music was my favorite movie when I was younger.
November 25, 2011 at 03:37
The “Sound of Music” was my favorite movie as a child. I used to ask to go see it on my birthday. I love their music!
November 25, 2011 at 12:32
i love the sound of music! my son loves the sound of music! my wife loves the sound of music! share the love!
November 26, 2011 at 09:58
Would be fun!
November 26, 2011 at 11:13
I’ve never gotten my grandmother a present for any holiday because I don’t understand her. I know we’ve watched the Sound of Music on mute while she sings all the parts, though. After 24 giftless years, I could fly her in from SW Missouri and finally give her something she would enjoy.

It would be an amazing thing to see the great-grandchildren of Captain Von Trapp. I grew up watching the movie – I had no idea that it was a real story! What a wonderful thing to share with my children.
