Sarah Khatami of Wexford is majoring in musical theater at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School.
Sarah Khatami would sing everywhere, even in the car on vacation, ever since she was two years old, her mother says. The 14-year-old Wexford teen will perform at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday as part of the entertainment scheduled for the Cranberry Relay for Life, Sarah and "Life's Ninjas," a walking team made up of her friends, also will sell accessories made out of duct tape and walk the track to raise money to help in the fight against cancer. Sarah distinctly remembers the moment when she decided that music was her passion. She said it started during a regular day in first grade, at lunch, when her best friend asked her if she could sing. So Sarah sang what was then her favorite song "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas …

Singing star appears at Kean Idol competition to present the Jackie Evancho award.
Jackie Evancho merely walked onto the Kean Theatre stage Friday night, and the crowd rose to its feet to give her a standing ovation. The petite singing star gave her signature little wave, smiled her great big Jackie smile and her blue eyes sparkled again as she returned to the Kean Theatre in Richland Township to present an award named in her honor. The Jackie Evancho award was created this year to honor a contestant who displayed "determination, commitment and vocal talent" in the Kean Idol Amateur Talent Contest. Jackie was on the same stage in 2008 and 2009 as a finalist in the Kean Idol competition, which was founded by St. Barnabas Health System to benefit a free-care fund for poor and low-income patients at St. Barnabas facilities…

Now that "America's Got Talent" is over, more music is on tap for the 10-year-old Richland fifth-grader.
Now that life has returned to somewhat normal after her run on "America’s Got Talent," what does Richland’s Jackie Evancho have on her calendar? The 10-year-old will be going to Houston next week to sing with the Houston Chamber Choir, according to her father, Mike Evancho. “We have received a lot of offers since the show, so we have to limit her schedule,” he explained, “She’s only 10, and we want her to have a kid’s life too.” Jackie will sing with the Houston Chamber Choir at St. Paul’s Methodist Church on Feb. 18 as part of the Brilliant Lecture Series. This particular concert was chosen, said Evancho, because it benefits a youth-in-education program. “We look at where it is, what is a good cause, things like that. We chose this one …
