With Karl Turban's blessing here is his video of Jackie and Sir James Galway at Carnegie Hall, 'O Holy Night.' The video has been stabilized and enhanced while the audio has been equalized.
Symphony orchestras only assemble when performing with stars. When they assemble at Carnegie Hall for a Christmas Carol performace, it is only with a superstar. Jaqueline Marie Evancho with ensemble praising Christ at Carnegie Hall for a Christmas celebration, It just doesn't get any better. Merry Christmas and God Bless you JME and thanks for your gift of song.
"O Holy Night" is one of the greatest sacred Christmas carols of all time, and the Jackie Evancho/Sir James Galway performance is the most gut-wrenchingly powerful interpretation of this classic. Jackie's rich, angelic vocal, Sir James's flute and the Day-of-Judgement style orchestral and choral backing combine to create a memorable and goosebump-inducing listening experience. God bless you, Jackie and Sir James! Merry Christmas! CHRIST IS BORN!
WOOOW! Delivered in her typical understated style. Easy does it and Jackie always does. Such a humble young lady as she always defers to the artists surrounding her. And what a dress. Her talent and visage are nearly beyond comprehension. I absolutely love this young lady.
All of the prognostications on AGT are coming true right before our eyes. Startling to believe with all of the international forums she has *already* performed in front of, she is surpassing the promise she showed. Love the chastity ring too, and I believe that with all her charm and honesty and humility, and illuminous beauty, she will become the most desired young lady to all young gentlemen everywhere!
MoMoMyPup10 Talk about prognostications. Back in Oct 2009, 1 year before AGT. Jason Dowd, in his “Expressionist Arts Journal”, in an Article titled: USA’s Little Darling - Jackie Evancho, wrote: “If I had a crystal ball, where I could see the future, I would see this: Jackie won’t be playing on MTV or anything like that, but instead I see her sitting on the stage at Carnegie Hall, standing alone as a vocalist. Behind her is the New York Symphony Orchestra belting out the melody of her songs, which will surely send chills down your spine as only the orchestra can do. Jackie will be releasing that amazing voice over the orchestra to give you goose bumps on top of goose bumps. That is how Jackie will touch your heart.” -- That prediction is coming true right now in front of our eye & ears
I am older than you Robert and I must say Jackie is the only singer that has ever brought tears to my eyes. And this happens since I saw and heard her for the very first time...
I’m here because Sir James Galway is my idol since I was 13 years old. I play the flute and I have 80% of his songs and albums. I even have one that my grandfather had when he was alive and every summer I would spend 25 days at his house and he would play the vinyl record at least once every other day
Hi Doug! Have you ever seen a larger orchestra? 120 musicians as per some publications! Perhaps, yes. But it is amazing anyways. (And a 225 voices choir) Regards. Happy new year!
vadinhopsc Indeed sir, that was quite an ensemble they put together for that concert. It was a very fitting production for Miss Evancho to perform in, and also very deserving on her part. Happy New Year to you, too.
Sweet enchanted evening and sweet, humble, smiling, triumphant Jackie. My family will never forget it. The only National Christmas Tree Lighting we observed this year (and the only one we will ever observe, as long as Jackie sings).
Just wonderful. Can not even imagine a professional recording. I hope some day a complete concert by Jackie could be filmed for IMAX, in 3D and showed throughout the world. It would surely be a Jackie's first.
Among all the JME videos, this is a Gem. As others have said, only occasionally does she rise for the special occasions, and open her pipes, and let fly. See the video in 2015, with Jackie singing The Prayer with David Foster at the piano. Best she's sung that song. People who were in attendance that day have largely no idea what they're witnessing, when Jackie bestows on Them the miracle of hearing and experiencing the Jackie Effect, Live.
All of the prognostications on AGT are coming true right before our eyes. Startling to believe with all of the international forums she has *already* performed in front of, she is surpassing the promise she showed.

And the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed. Thank you so much papasmurfdad for posting this magnificent moment in the history of Carnegie Hall. Bless your heart, and a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Your so lucky to get her video,thanks for sharing, I was there for the first time but not to close, and trying to get a video but they watch and stop you. That show was amazing. Next time I want to be closer on stage, I dont mind the price. Jackie your the best,we love you so much, hope to see you again in New York CIty. Little advice to the management to put big scren, so those far sited fans, can see her beautiful face on stage. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU JACKIE EVANCHO ! More power and God be with you always.
It's not luck. For those of you who don't know, "papasmurfdad" is Michael Evancho, Jackie's father. Proud papa owns the rights, and can film with impunity.
Stephen Powell Let me correct the facts. I am an adoring fan, Michael Swayne, alias "papasmurfdad." Credit for this video goes to Karl Turban. I merely enhanced it. My relationship to Jackie goes no farther than grandfather to granddaughter type feelings on my part. I like to think my videos exist because of the incomparable subject portrayed and because of my attention to technical quality.
papasmurfdad I stand corrected. Thank you. I could have sworn that I saw somewhere that papasmurfdad was Jackie's father. Either I mis-read what I did see, or the source was incorrect.
When I played in an orchestra, we had first chair clarinet player play middle c to tune us. Jackie would be the ultimate tuner as she is so pitch perfect.
wojciechzby Sounds to me like your Aston Martin needs a bit more training to help it understand the advantages of human perfection. Who knows, maybe it is just fickle.
ThaiChinaMalay Thanks for your patient reply - that piece of junk is unpredictable. Anyway, when Holy Jackie is involved sense of humor and licencia poetica don't always work as they should (sorry for that). P.S. Flatpicking guitar players all over the world as well as Carnegie Hall Orchestra - from now on please tune to Jackie's final note.
Not many singers would have the courage to have their voice measured against the flute of James Galway!! It's not just the notes but the tone and richness. Bravo.
brel3274 I hadn't listened to this performance in a year. I'm still astounded by the purity and clarity of Jackie's voice. Absolutely without any harsh overtones or harmonics. That is a one in a million voice.
It must be very exciting when Jackie one day with Sir Galway together present the legendary ballad "Danny Boy", because they both are legendary for singing and flute-playing this song, respectively.
Seeing and hearing both of them on a new CD/DVD, would be a real treat; beautiful! It just so happens that during the last few days I've been hearing JEM singing Danny Boy immediately after hearing it on YT. Your's is an excellent idea even though I still can't understand what her mom doesn't like about it; but it's enough for her not to sing it again. There are many other songs for her to sing, and songs to write. It probably is the only thing she agreed not do to get her mom's help. Every time I see one of her many concert scenes like this vid, I say...just think, everybody is there just for JEM.
Jackie met Vittorio Grigolo on dancing with the stars last year and now appears on his Christmas cd which was just released in October, check it out it is magnificent. I could only guess that there are many in the music industry who would line up outside her doors for the chance to perform with her on stage.
Royalchess1 Still supporting JEM the terrorist group. Are you a member of a local cell? Here is a link to the U.S. NATIONAL COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER. www.nctc.gov/site/groups/jem.html Quote from their report: "JEM has openly declared war against the United States." Both myself, and others have told you repeatedly that JEM is an active terrorist group. And have asked you to stop using their name when commenting on Jackie. It is not an association she wants. But because of your childish need to stroke your own ego, and not admit to being in the wrong, you have refused. How very selfish and small of you. Please grow up, and stop calling Jackie by the name of an active terrorist group. If you have to call her by a name no one else does, use what little common sense you have to come up with a new name. If you need help with that, just ask for it.
A união de três partes musicais; uma grandiosa orquestra, um grande musicista e instrumentista, Sir James Galway e uma jovem cantora com voz de anjo. E vejam só, quem se destaca! Jackie Evancho um fenômeno!
Sure you understand now why some are born in the AGT manger, and what Carnegie Hall was founded for. Me, my family and my friends, we all love this girl forever. Quite a night when divine Jackie outshines The Lord of the Rings flute!!!
Papa, I well remember her performing at Carnegie Hall nine years ago. I believe it was on 5 or 6 December 2013 because she then flew across the country to perform her last concert of the year in Long Beach, California on 7 December 2013. I was at that concert and there was a memorable moment for me that night. Probably about 2000 people attended that concert and I was 11 rows up, located in the middle of the stage. She wore a beautiful light blue dress for the first two sets and then she came out in an extraordinary silver and gray dress for the second segment of the show. As normal for her, she entered from the audience's left side of the stage and had taken about 2-3 steps out on the stage when the full audience saw her in that dress. The next moment was something I will never forget. There was a collective gasp from what seemed all the women in the concert hall over the beauty of a 13-year-old girl who they recognized was no longer a pretty little girl but a beautiful young woman. I thought there was a mass angina attack for all these concert patrons and wondered how Long Beach was going to manage the flow of patients to hospitals and urgent care wards. Anyway, I think you were there as I believe you posted up a video of her performing one of the songs she sang on YT. You could tell she was a bit tired that evening and it was her last performance before returning home to celebrate Christmas with her family. One other thing that was noteworthy that night and kind of funny. As she walked out on the stage for the fourth and final segment of the show, the microphones on the front of the stage picked up the "Clump, Clump, Clump, of her feet as she walked to the middle of the stage. I almost started laughing out loud as it was so characteristic for a new teenager going thru puberty to make a lot of noise when they walked as she probably had minimal or no footwear on as she walked out for that final segment...Figured that if I laughed that the 70-80 year old women sitting in front of me would have beat the hell out of me with those expensive formal purses they brought with them....this was the first of the six, JME concerts that I have attended, from 2013 to 2019, and hope to attend more in the future, especially anytime she decides to return to Texas....thanks for posting this video...Texas Hoosier
Papasd, once again thanks for this video! I am so surprised only 30,000 people have seen this vid. Imho this is the highlight of Jackie`s performances in 2013! DocDLH` s comment is so right as it can be. Together with "Awakening" in 2014 this performance gives us an glimps what to come in the next years. The transition from prodigy to a century performer seems to be possible. We have seen a similar development with Julie Andrews (Not the same genre). Deanna Durbin (RIP 2013) was on this track, but decided as a twen to leave the showbizz and to live a private family life in France.
YES - I agree "papasmurfdad" - What a blessing. I just attended her concert in Melbourne Fl at King Center for the Performing Arts last Sunday Jan 5th 2014. I took my daughter and grand daughter. We all enjoyed her singing. She had a "slight cough" which she controlled so bravely. I just hope she keeps her health. It must be hard doing so many concerts around this holiday season. And also my daughter said she saw them confiscate 2 peoples cell phones. I didn't see any cameras so does that mean I can't ever "relive" one of the songs she sang there? She sang the "Songs of the Silver Screen". At least we have it on her CD.
is clear that jackie is caring his voice for the future during your transcision from girl to woman; but sometimes she just decides show its maximum power as in this presentation;.. it that the makes a super human.
I was at this concert and can tell from this video that I missed something by getting cheap seats. Although the concert was plagued with audio problems, as you can hear here, where she is often drowned out by the orchestra, still I think you could hear her a bit better than I could.
Humans in general are insecure and loaded with anxieties. They are thus forced by their psychiatric issues to make unkind remarks about exceptional people. They are more to be pitied than censured.
