In September, Evancho sang at the David Foster Foundation 's 2016 fundraiser at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to help pay for pediatric organ transplants and support the patients ' families. Evancho began a new concert tour in late 2016. She also performed at the Memphis Music Hall of Fame 2016 induction ceremony in November 2016. She is set to participate in AGT 's first Christmas special. Evancho sang the U.S. national anthem at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2017. Evancho has stated that her decision to perform was apolitical, but it drew considerable comment on social media and in the press, `` from both sides of the political spectrum ''. On the same day, she released a recording titled Together We Stand, containing three songs : `` The Star - Spangled Banner '', `` America the Beautiful '' and `` God Bless America ''. Evancho stated that profits from the release would go to LGBT `` charities in support of my sister Juliet. '' The songs were produced by Nick Patrick and published on Sony 's Portrait label. The three songs charted at No. 2, 4 and 5, respectively, on Billboard 's Classical Digital Song sales chart. Evancho is the US `` image ambassador '' for a large - scale equestrian musical touring in China that tells the story of the Trojan War, titled `` Troy '', which features 72 horses. It is set to premiere on August 4, 2017, in a facility next to the Beijing National Stadium in China. Evancho performed the show 's theme song, `` Set Me Free '', composed by Tyler Bates, at a May 2017 press event. Since early 2017, Evancho, whose sister Juliet is transgender, has advocated for a US federal law to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and other public school facilities designated for the gender with which they identify. Juliet filed a lawsuit in 2016 challenging her school district 's policy on such facilities, which was settled in the students ' favor in 2017. Evancho led a TV special in August, on the TLC television network, called `` Growing Up Evancho '', focusing on the Evanchos ' efforts to secure transgender rights. Acting and modeling Evancho had some early theatre experience performing in High School Musical with Pittsburgh Musical Theater in 2007 and musical theatre versions of A Christmas Carol and Little Red Riding Hood, in which she played the title role in 2009. She also appeared as an extra in the 2010 film She 's Out of My League. Her first featured television appearance was in the 2011 episode `` Back to Max '', in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place, where she sang `` America the Beautiful '' to work off school detention. Evancho appeared in the feature film The Company You Keep, a 2013 political thriller. She played Isabel, the eleven - year - old daughter of a widowed attorney turned fugitive, played by Robert Redford, who also directed the film. Jon Weisman wrote that Evancho `` showed she 's more than a singing prodigy with her earnest sweetness ''. Redford cast Evancho only days before filming began. Evancho said in 2012 : `` I do n't think I want to act full - time. I think I might like to do something with a Disney special or make a movie once in a while that would give me enough time to sing and record, but that 's about it. '' Evancho modelled for GUESS Kids in 2012 and for Justice Girls Clothing in 2014, and she occasionally has appeared in other product advertisements and public service announcements. Reception and reputation Evancho at the Grove Christmas Tree lighting, November 2011 Earliest assessments In 2010, America 's Got Talent, judge Piers Morgan said : `` I have never seen an act, on this show or the British show or any of the other talent shows in the world, with more potential than Jackie Evancho. ( '' Ave Maria `` ) was perfection. Perfection ! '' Christopher Hahn, General Director of the Pittsburgh Opera, observed : `` It 's very unusual for a young child to have a voice that sounded so rich and developed. '' `` I thought she was just lovely, sweetly compelling ''. Hahn particularly praised Evancho 's phrasing. Composer Tim Janis commented that Evancho `` takes a classical piece and makes it friendly and accessible... Her voice is so pure and natural, there 's no flaw in it. People say ' I can hear her potential coming, ' but no, it 's here, it 's now. '' Claudia Benack, Assistant Professor of musical theatre at Carnegie Mellon University, said that Evancho `` has an unusually adult feel for the repertoire... She sings to the important part of the phrase, and then backs off. That 's instinctual... She takes breaths sometimes where an adult would not, but that 's just because she 's young and little... She sings from the healthy part of her voice. '' Jia Tolentino of The New Yorker later called Evancho 's YouTube audition for AGT `` supernaturally blissful '', and commented that she delivered `` O mio babbino caro '' with `` graceful phrasing, a controlled, slow vibrato, and a tone that resonates impersonally, like a bell. '' Critic Tim Page, however, wrote that Evancho `` has many years of work ahead of her before she becomes any sort of musician. '' Doctor Clark Rosen, director of the University of Pittsburgh Voice Center, noted that Evancho 's talent is made possible by how her brain coordinates her body for singing. Andrew Druckenbrod, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reviewing Evancho 's 2011 Pittsburgh Opera concert, stated that `` what was most impressive... was how musical she was... her focus on phrasing and an understanding of the emotion in the... musical numbers. '' The review also praised `` her reverberant chest voice ( and ) her head voice, hitting the highest register with intonation and purity '' and echoed Janis : `` That she continues to be greeted with skepticism is unfair... Yes, the concert showed that Jackie is a young girl, yet one with artistry to be appreciated now without debating about what her future might hold. '' Antony Walker, Pittsburgh Opera 's music director, said : `` she has a very sincere way of singing... Her voice has a lovely quality to it. It 's very simple singing but it comes from the heart. You rarely hear someone so young with such a beautiful voice ''. Nekesa Mumbi Moody, writing for Associated Press, commented that, although `` there is a youthful quality in Jackie 's voice, it 's hardly childlike : It 's a soprano that deftly traverses the musical scales ''. Mark Kanny, in the Pittsburgh Tribune - Review, called her voice `` beautifully in tune and well supported... Evancho 's sincerity of delivery was affecting ''. Bob Boilen of NPR wrote, `` I simply could n't believe my eyes and ears. Seeing Jackie Evancho sing for the first time is nearly beyond belief. '' He called her voice `` beyond - beautiful '' when she performed `` for a stunned audience at the NPR Music offices. She clearly is a very happy girl with an amazing musical gift. '' A review of her 2011 Sun Valley concert stated that `` Evancho transported ( her audience ) with pure, joyous, unaffected notes ''. Marcia Adair of the Los Angeles Times commented in reviewing Dream With Me that `` her voice has matured quite a lot over the past 10 months... ( W ) hat makes us feel like she will survive the journey from child star to adult performer is her magnificent sense of pitch, her natural ability to shape phrases and the ease with which she performs. '' Jon Caramanica, in The New York Times, reviewed her Avery Fisher Hall concert : `` In the first half of the show Ms. Evancho often receded, but toward the end of the night she found purpose, delivering ' A Time for Us ' with punch, and closing out Sarah McLachlan 's ' Angel ' with what felt like real yearning ''. The Wall Street Journal called Evancho 's 2011 performance of the song `` Angel '' on the Tonight Show `` moving ''. Evancho in January 2013 A San Francisco Chronicle review of a 2012 concert judged her singing `` an impressive thing to witness, and Evancho 's technical precision and enormous range only serve to make it seem less fluky '', but felt that `` every selection sounded alike ''. A reviewer for The Denver Post wrote that Evancho `` displayed her famous combo of poise and articulation '', but he noted `` the burden of being a kid soprano, a true phenomenon. People pay a lot to see you and orchestras line up to get you on their stage. But still folks wonder if you really comprehend your life ; if you should n't be home... eating ice cream... And yet they rise to their feet, yet again, as you finish. '' A Naples Daily News review stated : `` Her poise. Her control. Her range... Her voice and her performance exhausted all of the superlatives in the dictionary. '' In 2013, an Atlanta reviewer commented : `` Her pure and well - formed vowel sounds touched the hearts of everyone at the concert. '' A review in The Atlanta Journal - Constitution called Evancho `` awesomely talented '' and `` technically flawless ''. The Buffalo News reviewer wrote : `` there is a poignancy to the sound of this mature voice coming out of this child. Her high notes are a joy. '' 2014 and later In 2014, Chis Payne commented for Billboard magazine : `` Evancho 's stratospheric vocals are of course impressive for someone her age, though pipes like this are incredible for just about anyone. '' in 2015, the reviewer for Digital Journal wrote : `` The control she displays over her voice is tremendous, and she tackles the high notes... effortlessly, showcasing her angelic vocals and piercing pipes. '' Robin Leach wrote of Evancho 's 2015 concert in Las Vegas : `` She 's still got the voice of an angel. It 's remarkable, and her power is growing as she grows up. ( She ) had the audience on its feet with wild applause at the end of every song ''. Some reviewers, beginning in 2015, noticed a lack of connection with the text ; a review in The Washington Post called her voice a `` bell - like instrument, devoid of any messy human emotions ( with ) an ethereally floating tone... But imagine what Evancho can achieve once she stops obsessing over just sounding pretty, and actually listens to the words she 's singing. '' Reviewing one of Evancho 's 2016 concerts, Steve Barnes similarly wrote for the Times Union that her voice is `` an instrument of pristine beauty. It peals with the purity of bells and lofts tones that shimmer with celestial iridescence '' but that her performance lacks `` an apparent interpretive style or emotional connection to the material ''. A chapter in the 2016 book, Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music : Performance, Authority, Authenticity, by Dana Gorzelany - Mostak, Assistant Professor of Music at Georgia College, is devoted to analyzing Evancho 's career and influence. Gorzelany - Mostak writes : Despite her commercial success, a vocal cadre of critics, journalists, and bloggers have not always been kind to Jackie Evancho. Classical crossover 's excessive sentimentality and reliance on ( spectacle ) often provoke the disdain of critics from the worlds of both popular music and opera, but perhaps the vitriol has just as much to do with the singer 's age and gender. Young girls frequently become the scrutinized objects of the public 's gaze... ( T ) he cluster of behaviors customarily defined as `` girlish '' are frequently devalued, mocked, and marginalized... Throughout history prodigies have been received in a similar manner, as the public would rather dismiss or devalue their accomplishments than accept evidence of extraordinariness... With her embodiment of both sheltered innocence... and hyperability... ( Evancho ) expands the fan base for classical crossover, dethrones elitist conceptions of opera, challenges conventions of the classical canon, and forges a new path for the next cohort of girl performers who have the courage to follow in her footsteps. Will Friedwald wrote of Evancho 's 2017 concert series at Café Carlyle, that `` this superhuman voice is housed in the person of someone relatively inexperienced in terms of relating to an audience and especially in a New York nightclub. ( It will be years, if ever, before she can connect with a crowd like, for instance, Marilyn Maye. )... She covers a lot of bases musically... Her rendition of `` Music of the Night '' is especially moving... Hearing Jackie Evancho in such an intimate space is a rare chance to experience perfection at close proximity. '' Linda Amiel Burns, however, wrote of the piano - only accompaniment that additional instrumentation `` would have made the arrangements more interesting and exciting ''. She praised Evancho 's voice but thought that some of the song choices were odd, and that sometimes `` it was difficult to understand the lyrics. '' She felt that Evancho sounded more comfortable in her classical selections, but that pop songs require `` a different vocal technique with more emphasis on the lyrics... she has to watch her phrasing... breathe in the right places, and find the deeper meaning and longing that the song expresses. '' Honors Evancho appeared on the National League of Junior Cotillions ' list of `` Ten Best - Mannered People of 2011 '' for `` demonstrating humility and politeness as a young performer. '' She was honored in 2012 by the Senator John Heinz History Center at its 20th Annual History Makers Award Dinner as one of five `` distinguished Pittsburghers... recognized for their exceptional contributions to the history of Western Pennsylvania, the nation, and the world ''. Evancho was the youngest person ever to be so honored. The Kean Quest Talent Search, since 2011, has given an annual `` Jackie Evancho Award '' to a contestant who `` exemplifies courage and motivation and pushes through to follow their dreams. '' In both 2011 and 2012, Billboard magazine named Evancho to its list of `` 21 Under 21 : Music 's Hottest Minors ''.
