Mormon Tabernacle Choir: Concerts and Upcoming Events
|
| Date/Location |
Music and the Spoken Word |
|
Sundays
|
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.
In June, July, August, and December, the broadcasts are held across the street in the Conference Center, which can accomodate 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.

Daily

Organ recitals are given daily on Temple Square by the Tabernacle organists and by specially invited guest organists. The recitals begin at 12:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (2:00 p.m. on Sundays).
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, recitals begin at 12:00 p.m. and at 2:00 p.m. (Sundays at 2:00 p.m. only).
The summer 2 p.m. recitals take place in the Conference Center (Monday through Saturday; Sunday is in the Tabernacle) and feature the same program as the 12 p.m. Tabernacle recital, making it possible to contrast these two magnificent organs.

The Bells on Temple Square Spring Concert |
|
May 31, 2013
|
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.
