Jackie
Evancho and the Rhode Island Philharmonic
Orchestra at Providence Performing Arts Center, 220 Weybosset Street
in Downtown Providence, just off of Interstate 95. It's easy to
forget Jackie Evancho is just 12. Her poise. Her control. Her range.
Her voice. Oh, her voice. She mesmerized a sold-out crowd at the
Naples Philharmonic with that hard-to-believe-it-comes-out-of-her-body
voice. Part of her charm is her age. But her talent is ageless.
