Jackie Evancho To Perform Music Of Joni Mitchell And More At City Winery Boston

Chart-topping vocalist Jackie Evancho will perform music from her album Carousel of Time featuring songs by Joni Mitchell on Sunday October 16 at City Winery Boston. Evancho will take her audience on a musical panegyric from Joni's earliest classics "Both Sides Now" to her iconic 1971 hits, "A Case of You" and "Blue" to her enduring all season standard, "River."

A worldwide sensation when she was only ten years old, appearing on NBC's America's Got Talent, Jackie Evancho has moved past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy. Today, she's a mature young adult who has released a string of platinum and gold albums, racking up millions of sales and accolades around the world. A veteran of the concert stage, Ms. Evancho performs to sold out audiences around the world.

Now 22-years-old Evancho says "Stepping into the world of Joni Mitchell was inspiring and a pleasure to say the least. I had a lot of fun learning more about Joni Mitchell through her music, as well as finding ways to make it my own. I look forward to performing these songs for an audience."

Carousel of Time reached #1 on Amazon's Folk Chart on pre-sales alone this summer. This follows a string of Platinum and Gold albums, with sales of more than 3 million in the U.S., alone. She has also made history as the youngest, solo Platinum artist in the U.S.; the youngest Top 5 debut artist ever in the U.K.; and the youngest person to give a solo concert at Lincoln Center.

All seven of Evancho's albums have hit No. 1 on the Billboard Classical chart. The magnitude of her success led Billboard to include Jackie on its list of "Music Movers-and-Shakers Under the Age of 21" twice in 2010 and 2012.

In 2019, the world saw the emergence of a grown-up Evancho starting with her much anticipated return to "AGT-The Champions," where she stunned the audience with her rendition of Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere." She also released The Debut, matching her extraordinary voice with one of the most exciting re-emerging genres in popular music today: Broadway's New American Songbook.

Her expanding repertoire, collaborations with artists and writers, have inspired a new generation of fans eager for more. And at 22, Evancho is in a unique position to bring her vast experience and young woman's perspective to audiences around the country. She has moved past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy, becoming a young adult with a clear vision of the path she wants to take as a performer.
