Great Escape: Dream With Jackie Evancho at Atlanta Symphony Hall in August

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about great ideas to give you a much-deserved break and make your life a little easier—maybe a whole lot easier.

Only 11, Jackie Evancho will draw you into her dream as she sings in Atlanta in August.

Jackie first came to the attention of the nation when she appeared on “America’s Got Talent” last summer. 

With a program titled "Jackie Evancho: Dream With Me," she will make her debut with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. in Atlanta Symphony Hall at Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta.

Already, she has recorded two hit albums, O Holy Night and Prelude to a Dream, and starred in her own PBS special. Her repertoire includes opera, Broadway and inspirational tunes.

Ticket prices range from $49.90 to $72.55, including fees.

Parking fees range from $7.50 to $20. A cheaper alternative is to park at Atlantic Station for $5 for four to five hours and take the Woodruff Arts Center shuttle for free to the Arts Center MARTA Station across from this venue.

For any questions, call the Woodruff Arts Center Concierge Desk at 404-733-4263.
