Concerts and Upcoming Events
(Please click here for a printer-friendly version of this page.)

The performing venues for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square are the Salt Lake Tabernacle (left) and the Conference Center (right). Most of the weekly broadcasts and rehearsals take place in the historic Tabernacle, for which the Choir is named. Finished by the Mormon pioneers in 1867, its remarkable acoustics provide an ideal setting for the Choir and Orchestra. Daily recitals are also given on the magnificent Mormon Tabernacle Organ. When a larger venue is needed, performances are hosted across the street in the 21,000-seat Conference Center, which was completed in the year 2000.

Date/Location Music and the Spoken Word
Sundays
  • 9:30 am

The Choir's weekly live half hour broadcast Music and the Spoken Word is the nation's longest-running network program, having run continuously since 1929. The broadcast takes place every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. in the Tabernacle on Temple Square. Those wishing to attend should plan to be in their seats by 9:15 a.m.

From Thursday, May 31 through Sunday, August 26, 2012 and during the month of December the broadcasts will be held across the street in the Conference Center, which can accommodate the larger summer and Christmas season crowds. Broadcasts are also held in the Conference Center during LDS semiannual General Conferences, which take place on the first Sunday of October and April. Admission on these two Sundays is only available to Conference ticketholders.

Date/Location The Bells on Temple Square Spring Concert
May 31, 2013
  • 7:30 p.m.
  • Tabernacle
The Bells on Temple Square will present “Bells in Motion,” its annual spring concert, on Friday, May 31, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. LeAnna Willmore, conductor of Bells on Temple Square, will conduct the Friday evening performance with associate conductor Larry Smith leading the ensemble for several numbers. LeAnna Willmore was named conductor in June 2011 after serving as the associate conductor since the formation of the group in 2005.

The concert will showcase a broad variety of handbell repertoire. It begins with “Allegro con moto,” a fast, lively piece by Jason W. Krug, and continues with two pieces from Leroy Anderson, arranged by Martha Lynn Thompson: “Syncopated Clock” and “The Typewriter.” The music for these pieces simulates the items in their titles. The evening will wind up with two familiar pieces: “You Raise Me Up,” made famous by Josh Groban, and “Flight of the Bumblebee,” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. This is a technically advanced and challenging piece because of the speed of the changing bells.
