America's Young Sweetheart, Jackie Evancho In Concert on WLRN-TV

WTTW

Jackie Evancho: Awakening - Live in Concert (8:30 pm) Jackie Evancho stunned the world with her voice on NBC's "America's Got Talent" at a mere 10 years old. Now, at 14, she's released her third album titled "Awakening" and performs in concert at Pennsylvania's Longwood Gardens.

Angelic Jackie Evancho returns to PBS with her latest collection of songs from her new CD, Awakening. Drawn from the best known pieces from the classical canon, Broadway, uplifting sacred music and pop songs, Jackie's astoundingly beautiful young voice soars again at the magnificent Longwood Gardens Open Air Theatre. Longwood Gardens is over 1,000 acres of gardens, woodlands and meadows in Pennsylvania's Brandywine Creek Valley, Jackie's home state. This is the first time Longwood Gardens has ever permitted a television special to be taped on site and, in addition to her on-stage performance, Jackie will be performing at various stunning locations throughout the Gardens such as the Chimes Tower and the spectacular Main Fountain. Jackie will be joined by Cheyenne Jackson who will both host and perform with Jackie.
