schooling.[16][17] She attended Pine-Richland High School,[18][19] graduating in 2018.[20]
After Evancho saw the film version of the musical The Phantom of the Opera as a young
girl,[16][21] she began singing the songs at home.[22][23] Her parents have stated that they did not
recognize that her voice was unusual until her first talent competition, which she entered just
before her 8th birthday.[24] In the competition, Kean Idol,[25] Evancho finished in second
place.[22][26] She began taking voice lessons[25][27][28] and singing at events,[29] churches and
nursing homes, mostly in Pennsylvania.[30][31] She also started a YouTube channel,[32] sang in
the Children's Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh (now Pittsburgh Youth Chorus) during its 2008–09
season,[26][33] and performed the title role in a 2009 school musical version of Little Red Riding

America's Got Talent Evancho in her concert with David

Foster, December 29, 2011
After two earlier unsuccessful auditions for the
show,[21][37][49] Evancho was accepted as a contestant
on the fifth season of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT) by placing first in its 2010 YouTube
competition.[50] On August 10, 2010, Evancho performed the aria "O mio babbino caro" in the
show's quarter-final round.[51] The judges' reactions were effusive.[52][53] Afterwards,
commentators queried whether her performance had been lip-synched.[28][54] On the next
evening's live show, Evancho sang an impromptu voice exercise to demonstrate that the
broadcast was of her live voice.[43][54] In an interview, judge Howie Mandel addressed the issue: "
[W]hat people are ... really saying [is] that it's really too good to be true."[55]
Her semifinal performance was "Time to Say Goodbye".[56] She advanced to the Top 10 round,
where she performed "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem and was voted into the
Final 4.[57][58] Pittsburgh leaders declared the following week "Jackie Evancho Week".[59] Her
final competition performance, on September 14, 2010, was of Gounod's "Ave Maria". The
following evening at the AGT season finale, Evancho sang "Time to Say Goodbye" together with
guest artist Sarah Brightman;[60] then Evancho was announced as the runner-up, finishing
second to singer Michael Grimm.[61] Many viewers and commentators felt that Evancho should
have won,[62] and Grimm expressed surprise at the outcome.[63][64] The show brought Evancho
wide exposure to American audiences, as up to 16 million viewers watched her performances.[52]
The finale show was AGT's highest-rated episode in three years.[65] She was a guest on The
Tonight Show a week after the finale, where she sang and gave her first late-night interview with
Jay Leno.[66] Evancho was featured and interviewed in the 2013 book Inside AGT: The Untold
Stories of America's Got Talent.[67]
Later in 2010, Evancho performed in 10 cities with the America's Got Talent: Live Tour,[68][69]
signed a record deal with SYCO music and Columbia Records,[65] and performed in Las Vegas
with David Foster.[70] From June 2010[54] until mid-2011, Evancho coached with Yvie Burnett,
who has worked with other singers appearing on AGT.[8][15][71]

Evancho's first release on a major record label was a
Columbia Records EP titled O Holy Night. It was
released on November 16, 2010, and entered the
Billboard 200 at No. 2,[21] making Evancho the top-

five,[100] and USA Today commented that Evancho's "sweet, unblemished vocal tone and slow,
careful vibrato hardly betray her young age. ... But Dream's predictable and often bombastic odes
to love and faith can undermine the tween's most appealing quality: innocence."[101]
Evancho promoted the album on television and at concerts.[102][103] Her first solo concert
television special for the 2011 PBS Great Performances series consisted of performances of
largely the same songs as the album.[104][105] The special, titled Dream With Me In Concert, was
the most broadcast program of the year on the PBS network.[106] It "became one of the most
viewed specials in the 38-year-history of the Great Performances series [and] raised record
amounts of money for PBS stations."[107] Evancho was the youngest person ever to have a special
on the series.[108] The concert was hosted by David Foster,[109] with guest Conrad Tao.[110] The
CD/DVD release[111] reached No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Video chart.[93][112] Evancho

song "Hallelujah" with Peter Hollens for his self-titled
album, and the two released a video for the song. A
reviewer for Mashable called it "a gift from the a
cappella gods".[279]
In 2015, Evancho made a video to support the

Humane Society's fight against seal hunting.[280] She
also joined Andrea Bocelli as a guest in his concert in
Thailand. A review in The Nation commented: "If
there's anything on Earth close to the sound of an
Evancho in concert, April 2014
angel, it must be the heavenly voice of Jackie
Evancho".[281] In August, she participated in a "David
Foster and Friends" concert in Malaysia[282] and released a video, covering Ed Sheeran's "All of
the Stars", that tells a story supporting acceptance of LGBT people.[283][284] In September,
Evancho participated in another benefit, with Foster and Bocelli in Forte dei Marmi, Italy, for the
Celebrity Fight Night Foundation.[285] The same month, she performed at the World Meeting of
Families in Philadelphia as part of the celebration of Pope Francis's visit to that city.[13][286] In
October 2015, Evancho performed at a benefit for the Global Lyme Alliance in New York
City.[287] In December, she sang the US national anthem at the Pittsburgh Steelers game against
the Indianapolis Colts[288] and released the first single on her own JE Touring label, a cover of
Taylor Swift's "Safe & Sound",[289] together with a video.[290]
2016 to present
In January 2016, Evancho appeared at the Mending Broken Hearts With Hope luncheon to
benefit The Shelter for Abused Women & Children in Naples, Florida.[291] She then released a
single and video covering of Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall"[292] and another single and
video covering, Skylar Grey's "Coming Home (Part II)".[293] In April, Evancho sang the national
anthem at the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2016 opening home game.[294] She also released an original
pop song by Peter Zizzo, "Apocalypse". Billboard wrote that she "has found a brand-new sound.
The 16-year-old singer ... is taking a step outside the classical world that made her famous"; but
Evancho told Billboard: "I'm not going to get rid of my classical voice, because that's my roots,
that's what I love the most."[295] A reviewer for The New Yorker, however, found the track
"cloying", writing that Evancho "sounds unremarkable outside her genre."[296] She also released
a video of the song[297] and performed it on the Today show and Live! with Kelly and
Michael.[298]
Evancho provided the entertainment at the 2016 Project Sunshine benefit gala[299] and returned
to Washington, DC, to participate in the 2016 broadcast and live performance of A Capitol
Fourth.[300] She headlined a concert at Festa Italiana at the BMO Harris Pavilion in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, later in July 2016.[301] In September, Evancho sang at the David Foster Foundation's
2016 fundraiser at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to help pay for pediatric
organ transplants and support patients' families.[302] She also performed at the Memphis Music
Hall of Fame 2016 induction ceremony in November 2016.[303] She is set to participate in AGT's
first Christmas special.[304]
Evancho sang the US national anthem at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump in
January 2017.[305] She has stated that her decision to perform was apolitical,[12][306] but it drew
considerable comment on social media and in the press,[11][296] "from both sides of the political
spectrum".[307] On the same day, she released a recording titled Together We Stand, containing
three songs: "The Star-Spangled Banner", "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America".
Evancho stated that profits from the release would go to LGBT "charities in support of my sister
Juliet."[308] The three songs charted at No. 2, 4 and 5, respectively, on Billboard's Classical
Digital Song sales chart.[309] Juliet, who is transgender, has advocated for a US federal law to
allow transgender students to use bathrooms and other public school facilities designated for the
gender with which they identify.[310] Evancho led a TV special in August 2017, on the TLC
television network, called "Growing Up Evancho", focusing on the Evanchos' family life and
efforts to secure transgender rights.[311]
Evancho performed theme song, "Set Me Free", composed by Tyler Bates,[312] for a large-scale
2017 equestrian musical touring extravaganza in China based on the Trojan War, titled
"Troy".[313] In 2018, Evancho performed at the annual "Romance of the Mission" benefit gala to
help preservation of the Mission San Juan Capistrano in California and to support its cultural
and educational programming.[314] In 2019, she presented a concert at the August Wilson Center
in Pittsburgh to benefit The Brave Heart Foundation, which supports homeless LGBTQ young
adults.[315] The same year she headlined a benefit, accompanied by Pacific Symphony, as part of
the dedication festivities of Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.[316]
Acting and modeling

Evancho performed as a young child in several musicals,[30][93][317] including Little Red Riding
Hood, in which she played the title role.[15] She also appeared as an extra in the 2010 film She's
Out of My League.[318] Her first featured television appearance was in the 2011 episode "Back to
Max", in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, where she sang "America the
Beautiful" to work off school detention.[93][319]
Evancho appeared in the feature film The Company You Keep, a 2013 political
thriller.[320][321][322] She played Isabel, the eleven-year-old daughter of a widowed attorney
turned fugitive, played by Robert Redford, who also directed the film.[323] Jon Weisman wrote
that Evancho "showed she's more than a singing prodigy with her earnest sweetness".[324]
Evancho modelled for GUESS Kids in 2012[325][326] and for Justice Girls Clothing in 2014,[327]
and she occasionally has appeared in other product advertisements[328] and public service
announcements.[329]
Reception and reputation
Earliest assessments
Christopher Hahn, General Director of the Pittsburgh Opera,
observed: "It's very unusual for a young child to have a voice
that sounded so rich and developed."[44] "I thought she was
just lovely, sweetly compelling".[330][48] Hahn particularly
praised Evancho's phrasing.[331] Composer Tim Janis
commented that Evancho "takes a classical piece and makes it
friendly and accessible. ... Her voice is so pure and natural,
there's no flaw in it. People say 'I can hear her potential
coming,' but no, it's here, it's now."[28][48] Claudia Benack,
Evancho at the Grove Assistant Professor of musical theatre at Carnegie Mellon

Christmas Tree lighting, University, said that Evancho "has an unusually adult feel for
November 2011 the repertoire. ... She sings to the important part of the phrase,
and then backs off. That's instinctual. ... She takes breaths
sometimes where an adult would not, but that's just because
she's young and little. ... She sings from the healthy part of her voice."[48] Jia Tolentino of The
New Yorker later called Evancho's YouTube audition for AGT "supernaturally blissful", and
commented that she delivered "O mio babbino caro" with "graceful phrasing, a controlled, slow
vibrato, and a tone that resonates impersonally, like a bell."[296] Critic Tim Page, however, wrote
that Evancho "has many years of work ahead of her before she becomes any sort of
musician."[332]
Andrew Druckenbrod, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reviewing Evancho's 2011 Pittsburgh

Opera concert, stated that "what was most impressive ... was how musical she was ... her focus on
phrasing and an understanding of the emotion in the ... musical numbers."[116] The review also
praised "her reverberant chest voice [and] her head voice, hitting the highest register with
intonation and purity" and echoed Janis: "That she continues to be greeted with skepticism is
unfair. ... Yes, the concert showed that Jackie is a young girl, yet one with artistry to be
appreciated now without debating about what her future might hold."[116] Antony Walker,
Pittsburgh Opera's music director, said: "she has a very sincere way of singing. ... Her voice has a
lovely quality to it. It's very simple singing but it comes from the heart. You rarely hear someone
so young with such a beautiful voice".[333] Nekesa Mumbi Moody, writing for Associated Press,
commented that, although "there is a youthful quality in Jackie's voice, it's hardly childlike: It's a
soprano that deftly traverses the musical scales".[24] Mark Kanny, in the Pittsburgh Tribune-
Review, called her voice "beautifully in tune and well supported. ... Evancho's sincerity of delivery
was affecting".[334]
Bob Boilen of NPR wrote, "I simply couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Seeing Jackie Evancho
sing for the first time is nearly beyond belief." He called her voice "beyond-beautiful" when she
performed "for a stunned audience at the NPR Music offices."[335] A review of her 2011 Sun
Valley concert stated that "Evancho transported [her audience] with pure, joyous, unaffected
notes".[336] Marcia Adair of the Los Angeles Times commented, in reviewing Dream With Me:
[W]hat makes us feel like she will survive the journey from child star to adult performer is her
magnificent sense of pitch, her natural ability to shape phrases and the ease with which she
performs."[337] Jon Caramanica, in The New York Times, reviewed her Avery Fisher Hall concert:
"In the first half of the show Ms. Evancho often receded, but toward the end of the night she
found purpose, delivering 'A Time for Us' with punch, and closing out Sarah McLachlan’s 'Angel'
with what felt like real yearning".[338] The Wall Street Journal called Evancho's 2011
performance of the song "Angel" on the Tonight Show "moving".[339]
A San Francisco Chronicle review of a 2012 concert judged her singing "an impressive thing to
witness, and Evancho's technical precision and enormous range only serve to make it seem less
fluky", but felt that "every selection sounded alike".[120] A reviewer for The Denver Post wrote
that Evancho "displayed her famous combo of poise and articulation".[340] A Naples Daily News
review stated: "Her poise. Her control. Her range. ... Her voice and her performance exhausted all
of the superlatives in the dictionary."[341] In 2013, an Atlanta reviewer commented: "Her pure
and well-formed vowel sounds touched the hearts of everyone at the concert."[342] A review in
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called Evancho "awesomely talented" and "technically
flawless".[261] The Buffalo News reviewer wrote: "there is a poignancy to the sound of this mature
voice coming out of this child. Her high notes are a joy."[151]
2014 and later

In 2014, Chris Payne commented for Billboard magazine:
"Evancho’s stratospheric vocals are of course impressive for
someone her age, though pipes like this are incredible for just
about anyone."[171] in 2015, the reviewer for Digital Journal
wrote: "The control she displays over her voice is tremendous,
and she tackles the high notes ... effortlessly, showcasing her
angelic vocals and piercing pipes."[173][186] Robin Leach wrote
of Evancho's 2015 concert in Las Vegas: "She’s still got the
voice of an angel. It’s remarkable, and her power is growing as
she grows up. [She] had the audience on its feet with wild
applause at the end of every song".[343] Some reviewers,
beginning in 2015, noticed a lack of connection with the text; a
review in The Washington Post called her voice a "bell-like
instrument, devoid of any messy human emotions [with] an
ethereally floating tone. ... But imagine what Evancho can
achieve once she stops obsessing over just sounding pretty,
Evancho in January 2013
and actually listens to the words she’s singing."[344] Reviewing
one of Evancho's 2016 concerts, Steve Barnes similarly wrote
for the Times Union that her voice is "an instrument of pristine beauty. It peals with the purity of
bells and lofts tones that shimmer with celestial iridescence" but that her performance lacks "an
apparent interpretive style or emotional connection to the material".[345]
A chapter in the 2016 book, Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music: Performance, Authority,
Authenticity, by Dana Gorzelany-Mostak, Assistant Professor of Music at Georgia College, is
devoted to analyzing Evancho's career and influence. Gorzelany-Mostak writes:
Despite her commercial success, a vocal cadre of critics, journalists, and bloggers
have not always been kind to Jackie Evancho. Classical crossover’s excessive
sentimentality and reliance on [spectacle] often provoke the disdain of critics from
the worlds of both popular music and opera, but perhaps the vitriol has just as
much to do with the singer’s age and gender. Young girls frequently become the
scrutinized objects of the public’s gaze. ... [T]he cluster of behaviors customarily
defined as "girlish" are frequently devalued, mocked, and marginalized. ...
Throughout history prodigies have been received in a similar manner, as the public
would rather dismiss or devalue their accomplishments than accept evidence of
extraordinariness. ... With her embodiment of both sheltered innocence ... and
hyperability ... [Evancho] expands the fan base for classical crossover, dethrones
elitist conceptions of opera, challenges conventions of the classical canon, and
forges a new path for the next cohort of girl performers who have the courage to
follow in her footsteps.[346]
Will Friedwald wrote of Evancho's 2017 concert series at Café Carlyle, that "this superhuman
voice is housed in the person of someone relatively inexperienced in terms of relating to an
audience and especially in a New York nightclub. (It will be years, if ever, before she can connect
with a crowd like, for instance, Marilyn Maye.) ... She covers a lot of bases musically. ... Her
rendition of "Music of the Night" is especially moving. ... Hearing Jackie Evancho in such an
intimate space is a rare chance to experience perfection at close proximity."[347] Linda Amiel
Burns praised Evancho's voice but thought that some of the song choices were odd, and that
sometimes "it was difficult to understand the lyrics". She felt that Evancho sounded more
comfortable in her classical selections, but that pop songs require "a different vocal technique
with more emphasis on the lyrics ... she has to watch her phrasing ... breathe in the right places,
and find the deeper meaning and longing that the song expresses."[348]
Honors
Evancho appeared on the National League of Junior Cotillions' list of "Ten Best-Mannered People
of 2011" for "demonstrating humility and politeness as a young performer."[349][350] She was
honored in 2012 by the Senator John Heinz History Center at its 20th Annual History Makers
Award Dinner as one of five "distinguished Pittsburghers ... recognized for their exceptional
contributions to the history of Western Pennsylvania, the nation, and the world".[351][352]
Evancho was the youngest person ever to be so honored.[352] The Kean Quest Talent Search,
since 2011, has given an annual "Jackie Evancho Award" to a contestant who "exemplifies
courage and motivation and pushes through to follow their dreams."[353] In both 2011 and 2012,
Billboard magazine named Evancho to its list of "21 Under 21: Music's Hottest Minors".[354] In
2017, Evancho was named to the "2018" Forbes 30 Under 30 list of musicians.[355]
