Eclectic, genre-bending Portland band Pink Martini have teamed with Sofia, Melanie, Amanda and August von Trapp – the grandchildren of Captain and Maria von Trapp from The Sound Of Music— for a collaborative album, out now on Heinz Records. Dubbed Dream a Little Dream, it marks the first major international release for the von Trapp grand kids, and mixes old chestnuts (“Dream a Little Dream,” “Fernando,” “Lonely Goatherd,” “Edelweiss,”) with songs from faraway countries like China and Rwanda, plus three original tunes from August von Trapp.
