Sounds Like San Diego: February 1

The Von Trapps perform with Dr. Carol Williams at Spreckels Organ Pavilion Sunday

Because today is "the big game," expect most of your favorite bars to be packed by day and host slim pickings for music by nightfall. However, if you're looking for something special, the Von Trapps perform a free concert today at Spreckels Organ Pavilion with Civic Organist Dr. Carol Williams (read our profile on the family singers here). The four siblings, ranging in age from 19 to 24, are the great-grandchildren of Captain and Maria von Trapp, the real life family portrayed in "The Sound of Music." The group has toured all over the world and have recorded six albums as well as collaborations with artists like Rufus Wainright and Pink Martini. The performance is at 2 p.m. sharp, which means you can enjoy the show and still get yourself in front of a television before kick off. Sounds like a perfect Sunday to me.
