After more than a year, since it was temporarily halted due to COVID-19, the church has announced the return of daily organ recitals, weekly rehearsals, and Music & the Spoken Word broadcasts.
The following information was provided by the Tabernacle Choir organization:
Daily Organ Recitals on Temple Square:
The daily organ recitals, a century-long tradition, will resume on Monday, July 19, and will be open to the public in the Tabernacle (Monday through Saturday at 12:00 noon mountain time; Sunday at 2:00 p.m. mountain time). The new Temple Square organ tradition, Piping Up! Organ Concerts at Temple Square, will continue to stream every Wednesday at 12:00 noon on The Tabernacle Choir’s YouTube, Facebook, and website home page, and on Broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
Phased Opening of Choir, Orchestra and Bells Events:
The Tabernacle Choir will begin rehearsals at the end of August, with the Bells at Temple Square starting a week later. All rehearsals and broadcasts will be closed to the public until the second week in October.
