DON TRAPP, Music

Don was
born and raised a Lutheran in St. Paul, MN, which is where Don’s
extended family continues to reside. He received a Bachelors of
Music Education from Wartburg College where he met his wife Faith,
and graduated in 1969. The day after graduation, the two were
married at Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque, IA where Faith’s father,
Dr. William Weiblen, was serving as a professor.
Don’s career in music began as a band director in various
communities of Iowa and Texas, leaving high school teaching in 1988.
During this teaching period he completed a Masters degree in music
at the University of Nebraska. In 1988 Faith’s work took them to
Europe. They spent 3 years in England and 6 years in Germany. During
this time Don changed his emphasis from instrumental music to choral
music. While in Europe, he took the opportunity to do a lot of
singing, some conducting (including church and community choirs) and
a good deal of study. Don’s singing allowed him to perform in some
of the great venues of Europe with some of the world’s finest
orchestras.
Upon returning to the USA in 1997, he began looking for
opportunities to work as a music director in a church. In the autumn
of 1999 he began to work at a large Lutheran church in Plano, Texas.
During this period he also sang with the Dallas Symphony Chorus.
Once again, following Faith’s work we moved to New York City. There
he became active in the music of Riverside Church. The Trapps moved
to Horseshoe Bay in February of 2008. Don’s spare time is taken up
with golf, travel, cooking and gardening.
