On July 3, 2018, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square completed their successful 2018 Classic Coast Tour. It included seven concerts in Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Rohnert Park, and Mountain View, California; Vancouver, British Columbia, and Seattle, Washington. They performed in beautiful concert halls and premier outdoor venues to standing ovations from the enthusiastic audiences thrilled by the variety and spirit of the beautiful music they presented.

“One of the great powers of the Choir and Orchestra is to draw down the powers of heaven through their music to heal, uplift, and strengthen those that hear their words,” said Elder John C. Pingree Jr., a senior Church leader who accompanied them during part of the tour. “They are vehicles for connecting people with God, and they do so beautifully.”

Although the Choir and Orchestra perform weekly for their acclaimed Music & the Spoken Word broadcast—now in its 90th year—and present concerts in their home on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, they have also toured outside Utah to reach other audiences since 1893.

“There is nothing like listening to the Choir in person,” Choir president Ron Jarrett once remarked. “The experience of listening to the Choir live,” added music director Mack Wilberg, “is impossible to capture any other way.”
