Promotions and concerts
Evancho promotes the album at talk shows on every major US network and concert in the US, London and Toronto. The deluxe edition of Dream With Me , exclusively available from Target, features four bonus tracks: "Someday", "Mi Mancherai", "The Impossible Dream" and "A Time For Us".
Evancho performed a song almost identical to the one on CD Dream With Me for his first specifically broadcasted solo concert, which was first aired in June 2011 on the PBS station ("The Prayer" was omitted, but "Dark Waltz "and" Mi Mancherai "are added). This program is part of the PBS Great Performances series, produced jointly by SYCO/Columbia. It was frequently re-aired during 2011, and in early August 2011, special broadcasts have been broadcasted almost 2,000 times. It became "one of the most widely viewed specials in the 38-year history of the Big Show series [and] increasing the record money amount for PBS stations." Custom continues to show up to 2013.
Evancho is the youngest solo artist ever to be a special star in the Great Performances series. The concert was recorded in April 2011 at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida, and co-hosted by David Foster, who plays the piano in the orchestra for many choices, while Conrad Tao plays piano and violin in several options. The show is available on CD/DVD titled Dream With Me In Concert . Allmusic noted: "the concert version... sounds almost identical (outside of the wave of applause) to the studio album... but the accompanying DVD, which features a very choreographed performance, as well as extensive photo galleries and interviews with both Evancho and Foster, should be providing enough eyes and ear candy to appease fans of talented young vocalists until proper follow-ups emerge.
In July 2011, the singer embarked on his first official tour across the United States, to promote the album. It consists of a series of performances with a symphony orchestra, starting with the Sun Valley Orchestra on July 31, followed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on August 5, the Ravinia Orchestra Festival on August 7, the Omaha Symphony Orchestra on August 26, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra on August 31 and hometown of Pittsburgh Opera on October 16th. Conductor Antony Walker took the opportunity to introduce his fans (many of whom were newcomers to opera) to the Pittsburgh Opera choir and singers, who performed several numbers from Verdi, Bizet and Puccini along with Evancho's repertoire. Evancho made his concert debut in New York City at Avery Fisher Hall with songs from the album on November 7, 2011. His last concert this year was in Las Vegas with David Foster in Las Vegas on December 29th.
After showing his concert in Japan in January 2012 with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Evancho went on his "Dream With Me" tour in the US in the same month in California. He gave three more concerts in February, with the San Diego Symphony, in Los Angeles, and with the Fresno Grand Opera orchestra, and three others in March, in San Francisco, Sacramento, and West Valley City, Utah.
