www.facebook.com/events/416748615465728/Details Since she first dazzled American television audiences at the age of 10 – gaining global recognition with her stunning debut on NBC’s America’s Got Talent – Jackie Evancho has released a string of platinum and gold albums and made history as the youngest solo platinum artist and the youngest person to give a solo concert at New York’s Lincoln Center. Jackie Evancho sang for Pope Francis I during his US visit and, a few years before, performed at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C., where she sang for – and delighted – President Barack Obama and his family. Two months later, she was again invited to perform for the President and Congressional leaders during the National Prayer Breakfast. A worldwide sensation when she was only ten years old, Jackie Evancho is now 18 years old and moving past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy vocalist, toward maturity as a singer, as a creative artist and as a young woman. Jackie will perform a collection of heart-warming, beloved classic Christmas and popular holiday songs that have a fresh new take with her amazing angelic voice. Sponsored by GIANT EAGLE

Taken the plunge! 10,130 miles from home to New Wilmington. 2 tickets purchased (myself and the Wombatdaughter) Flight Sydney to SFO Train SFO to Pittsburgh.(then on to New York-then Ontario) Accomodation in Cranberry-great name for a town at Christmas.
The lovely lady in Box office said Jackie would be performing with an Orchestra-That will be a bonus if correct! Now hoping for good health(Jackie) and decent weather.

I'm just now getting around to reading this thread again since I determined early on that I couldn't make a Wednesday concert. So you and Wombat daughter will take the train across the U.S.??!! Our rail system is thoroughly up to date. Roughly 1955 technology. I have to ask why such an epic trip for one Christmas concert? Visiting relatives in Ontario? In mid March next year there will be four Jackie concerts closely clustered in Florida. That's where/when I would have traveled across the globe for Jackie. Any Jackie concert is a fabulous experience. You two will be mesmerized. We're all with you in your hopes for good health (Jackie) and weather. I'll add good health to wombat dad and daughter and safe travels.

Summer holidays in Australia- long school break. 2) I love Jackie's Christmas music. She is made for Christmas! 3) My late wife was Canadian, Wombatdaughter (who is 8 mths older than Jackie) and I spent 10 years living in SW Ontario. While there she is looking into attending Mc Master Uni in Hamilton,On -just as her Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother did.....and she loves to skate! 4) The village we lived in invited us back for Christmas. 5) Snow!! Christmas is much better at 20deg F than 110! As to the Train- I have travelled on Amtrak many times, and as long as you are not in a hurry I find it a great way to see the U.S. and talk to Americans (no politics!) -somewhat like a cruise without the ocean. I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish you and all on this forum a Happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. (And Rick, Thanks for making this forum possible.)
