Evancho earned worldwide acclaim after competing and winning second place on NBC’s variety show “America’s Got Talent” in 2010. The young soprano from Pittsburgh has released three studio albums, performed for the royal family in Japan, and has performed for President Barack Obama on two separate occasions.
Joining Evancho on stage for a duet will be former LLU Children’s Hospital patient Hugo Ramos, age 14. A native to the Inland Empire, Ramos is a singer and musician who was one of the top six finalists on “La Voz Kids” on Telemundo in 2013 and won first place on “Niños con Talento” on Estrella TV.
