Jackie Evancho with Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

When Jackie Evancho submitted a video to YouTube to compete for a slot on “America’s Got Talent” she could never have predicted that a little push of the “send” button would eventually send her to the top of the entertainment industry. Remarkably, Jackie was 10 years old at the time, but her long-held desire to perform — sparked after seeing the film version of “The Phantom of the Opera” – convinced her parents to let her take a chance at stardom. And Jackie has shown everyone that she has the brilliant talent needed to succeed, according to Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre's website.

Gates open at 6:30 p.m., with the concert starting an hour later.
