“Little Drummer Boy” is one of the most beloved classic Christmas songs that there is, but we can guarantee that you’ve never heard it like this before!
Classical music singer Jackie Evancho recently teamed up with Italian power group Il Volo to perform “Little Drummer Boy” on the Today show, and their performance has since blown everyone away!

“Little Drummer Boy” was written in 1958 by American teacher named Katherine Kennicott Davis, and it was originally called “Carol Of The Drum.” The tune didn’t become famous around the globe until it was sung by Harry Simeone, and hundreds of singers have tried their hand on it in the years since.
Jackie and Il Volo’s performance was so powerful that it left the crew at the Today show in tears!

It took weeks for Jackie and Il Volo to perfect this, and it is clear that their hard work really did pay off! It’s hard not to get emotional when watching them perform this song.

These musicians have their priorities straight in life, and their voices sound almost angelic.

Video of their performance has since gone viral, touching the hearts of people all over the world.
“How young and talented are these kids? Such beautiful voices,” one social media user wrote, another adding, “Amazing young talents and I’m glad classical music is kept alive by such a young beautiful group of kids.”
“They are all amazing. Love this rendition of Little Drummer Boy,” a third user wrote.
