Jackie Evancho
Jackie Evancho is a Platinum-selling recording artist who first became a worldwide sensation at the age of 10 with her debut performance of “O mio babbino caro” on season 5 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Billboard has twice included Evancho on its list of “music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21.” In just over a decade, she has made 10 chart-topping albums and DVDs, headlined three successful PBS television specials, appeared in the film The Company You Keep with Robert Redford, and sung for presidents and other world leaders.
Evancho has recorded or performed with Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Plácido Domingo, Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Joshua Bell, Il Volo, David Foster, Andrea Bocelli, and José Carreras, among others. In 2020 she appeared as The Kitty on Fox’s The Masked Singer, where she immediately became a crowd favorite through her vocals and playful persona. During the pandemic, she explored a new direction and began songwriting. In doing so, she realized that she wanted to pay homage to one of the greatest song writers of our time, Joni Mitchell. Her most recent album, Carousel Of Time, does that and has received high praise from the music industry. She makes her San Francisco Symphony debut with this performance and previously appeared at Davies Symphony Hall in 2012.
