Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Top choice in Salt Lake City


Hearing the world-renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a must-do on any SLC bucket list. A live choir broadcast goes out every Sunday at 9:30am. September through November, and January through May, attend in person at the Tabernacle. Free public rehearsals are held here from 7:30pm to 8:30pm Thursday.

From June to mid-September and in December – to accommodate larger crowds – choir broadcasts and rehearsals are held at the 21,000-seat LDS Conference Center (www.templesquare.com/explore/conference-center), across the street from Temple Sq. Performance times stay the same, except that an extra organ recital takes place at 2pm, Monday through Saturday.
