August Celebrity Fun Facts

August 11, 2014

We have some great concerts scheduled during the month of August. Here are some fun tidbits about a few of the celebrities who will be performing at AMT soon.

Did you know that …

  • Jackie Evancho (August 10, 7pm) is The Humane Society of the United States’ youngest Celebrity Ambassador for Animals? In her role, Jackie shares information about important animal issues with her fans and the public in addition to encouraging kids to get involved, too.
  • On July 22, Human Nature (August 12, 8pm) made a special appearance at the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital as part of the music therapy program at the Hospital? They flew in from Las Vegas specifically for that performance.
  • In October of 2011, Yanni (August 19, 7:30 pm) was honored by the people of China with the adoption of a two-month old giant panda cub? Adopting a panda is an honor that is reserved almost exclusively for nations, not personalities or individuals, and Yanni is the first artist to ever be honored with this gift.
