Last July, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir announced that for the first time in nearly two decades both the Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will tour internationally, performing in seven European cities in June and July 2016.  The Choir has now named the venues where the performances will take place and the start of ticket sales in all seven venues.

At the time the tour was announced, President Thomas S. Monson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said, “Our goal is for the Choir and its companion Orchestra at Temple Square to be a shining example of the musical arts to all the world. With the announcement of this European tour, I am delighted that these noted ensembles will have the opportunity to touch the hearts of people in multiple nations through their magnificent music.”  These special performances as envisioned by President Monson will take place in some of the most noted concert halls in Europe.  Here are the cities and the concert venues:
