Hello, gorgeous.

Where did you get that healthy glow?

We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography.

During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes.

And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses.

You even got rid of fibroid pain (with just the tiniest of scars) through uterine fibroid embolization (UFE).

We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”

We believe in life well-lived.

22,000 children die every day from preventable causes.

If you believe that number should be zero give.

Because of donors like you, UNICEF is able to provide children with lifesaving medicine; food; clean, safe water to drink; and help in emergencies. UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any humanitarian organization in the world. Still, 22,000 children die every day from preventable causes. With your help, that number could be zero. I believe in zero. Do you?

JACKIE EVANCHO, Soprano

S

o far, fans have gotten small tastes of what Jackie Evancho can do, but with the release of Dream With Me her highly-anticipated, first full-length album, they will get their first full serving of her staggering talent.

The SYCO/Columbia album reunites the 11-year old singing phenomenon with legendary producer David Foster. Jackie caught the attention of Foster two years ago when she won Jackie Evancho a regional competition that allowed her to sing as Foster accompanied her on piano. So much so that the 16-time Grammy winner Foster helms Dream With Me and brought some remarkable company with him. The world’s most celebrated female singer Barbra Streisand duets with Jackie on one of Streisand’s signature songs, West Side Story’s “Somewhere,” while singing sensation and 2009 “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle performs the tender “A Mother’s Prayer” with Jackie.

Dream With Me features a repertoire of classical arias and pop classics handpicked to suit Jackie’s angelic voice. Her range is so great that she ably shifts from the Disney classic “When You Wish Upon A Star” to Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma.”

Dream With Me is the follow-up to Jackie’s SYCO/Columbia Records major label debut, last November’s seasonal collection, “O Holy Night.” The set, which featured the classical crossover soprano singing such Christmas favorite as “O Holy Night” and “Silent Night,” blazed onto the Billboard 200 at No. 2, making Jackie the youngest female solo artist to debut during the SoundScan era as well as the year’s top-selling debut artist. Additionally, the exceptionally beautiful collection topped the Billboard Classical Chart.

Although last summer’s edition of “America’s Got Talent” introduced the world to Jackie and her astonishing vocal talent, her musical story begins before her life-changing appearance on the talent contest. It seems unfathomable now, but Jackie’s appearance on “AGT” came after other brushes with the show were met with rejection. She auditioned twice for “AGT” in person in Philadelphia and the producers passed on her. It wasn’t until her parents submitted a YouTube audition for “AGT,” almost on a whim, that she finally found her home on center stage. The viewers who watched Jackie’s stunning audition submission couldn’t forget what they’d witnessed. She earned the most fan votes through the YouTube competition, awarding her the twelfth spot among the slate of “AGT” contestants for the show’s fifth season.

While other girls her age are singing pop ditties they hear on Top 40 stations, Jackie has an inherent understanding of her talent. “I never really had a pop voice,” she told WPXI. “But even if I had a pop voice, I would have gone with classical because it’s different from what many other children do, because with classical you’re able to show emotion in it.”

But they make sure she has plenty of time to dream and for us to dream with her. After all, if nothing else, Dream With Me is a testament to the power of living one’s dreams and inspiring others to realize theirs as well. As Jackie says, “If someone has a dream, they should always go for it because that’s what happened to me and my dream came true.”

program CONSTANTINE KITSOPOULOS, Conductor

C

onstantine Kitsopoulos has made a name for himself as a conductor whose musical experiences span the worlds of opera and symphony. He conducts in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall and Royal Albert Hall, and can be found leading orchestras on Broadway. Mr. Kitsopoulos is in his fifth year as music director of the Queens Symphony Orchestra and continues as general director of Chatham Opera, which he founded in 2005.

Constantine Kitsopoulos

Mr. Kitsopoulos begins his 2011-12 season with a Philadelphia Orchestra debut at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center and a summer tour of Dream With Me with singing sensation Jackie Evancho at the Ravinia and Sun Valley festivals, Atlanta Symphony, Dallas Symphony and at the Omaha Holland Performing Arts Center. In addition, he makes appearances with the New Jersey, Omaha and Napa Valley symphonies and returns to Indiana University, where he conducts Bolcom’s A View From the Bridge.

Highlights of the 2010-11 season included debuts with the Dallas, North Carolina, Charlotte and Tucson symphonies and re-engagements with Calgary Philharmonic and BaldwinWallace College, where he conducted La Bohème. In recent seasons, Mr. Kitsopoulos debuted with the Tokyo Philharmonic in Japan and at the Festival of the Arts Boca with the Russian National Orchestra. He has also led the Baltimore, Colorado, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, New Jersey, Pittsburgh and San Francisco symphony orchestras, as well as the Blossom Festival Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra and New York Pops Orchestra at Carnegie Hall.

In the 2008-09 season, Mr. Kitsopoulos conducted Indiana University Opera Theater’s The Most Happy Fella. Previous seasons’ operatic highlights include The Merry Widow, Gounod’s Faust, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, Chatham Opera’s debut of Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors, Hong Kong Municipal Opera’ Carmen and Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice at Alice Tully Hall. He also served as music director and created the orchestrations for the world premiere of Ed Dixon’s Fanny Hill at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut.

Mr. Kitsopoulos has continued to show his ability and interest in performing new works and conducting a wide variety of genres. He conducted the Red Bull Artsehcro in a concert at Carnegie Hall featuring world premieres by Raul Yanez and Laura Karpman. He has led Tony-nominated musicals A Catered Affair and Coram Boy, American Conservatory Theatre’s production of Kurt Weill’s Happy End, as well as Mambo Kings, Dracula, Les Misérables and Swan Lake.
