Sun Valley Summer Symphony

2011 Benefit Concert, July 31, 6:30 PM

Sun Valley Pavilion

“Dream With Me”

International recording artist and soprano phenomenon, JACKIE EVANCHO, is embarking on her eagerly anticipated Dream With Me tour which begins with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Benefit Concert on July 31. This tour is on the heels of the release of Jackie's classical crossover album Dream With Me and her PBS Special, produced by the legendary David Foster. The tour will feature Jackie on a repertoire ranging from classical arias and pop classics to Oscar-winning tunes, bringing Jackie's great vocal ability to interpret some of the most majestic and classic songs of our time. Two additional artists, yet to be announced, will also perform with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony as part of the 2011 Benefit Concert.

Jackie Evancho comes into her own with the Dream With Me album. Highlights include two extraordinary superstar duets showcasing the young vocalist performing with music legend Barbra Streisand ("Somewhere" from West Side Story) and international phenomenon Susan Boyle ("A Mother’s Prayer") on her debut album.

A contestant on "America's Got Talent" in 2010, Evancho catapulted into the quarter finals round when her unaffectedly pure performance of Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" (one of Maria Callas's signature arias) handily won the show's YouTube round.  Jackie performed five times on the show over the summer. Her astonishing classical crossover soprano performances marked the arrival of a major musical talent.
