Alex Boyé, guest soloist for the Choir’s Summer Tour, sings “Goin’ Home” with the Choir and Orchestra.

Making plans for summer? Want to revel in classical and folk music or sit back and enjoy a picturesque outdoor concert venue? If so, then get tickets now for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Atlantic Coast tour. Over the course of the tour the Choir’s repertoire will cover everything from classical masterworks, beloved hymns, American folk hymns and spirituals and music from Broadway.  From June 25 thru July 6, 2015 the world-renowned 360-voice choir and 68 members of the Orchestra at Temple Square will be singing in Bethesda, Maryland, New York City, Saratoga Springs (NY), Bethel (NY) and Boston. Tickets are still available for performances but don’t wait or you’ll be disappointed. 

Getting tickets is easy.  Just click here — www.mormontabernaclechoir.org/tour — for the tour page of the Choir’s website and links to each venue.

Guest artist on tour is longtime friend and former Choir member, now a YouTube sensation, Alex Boyé.

A special addition this year is an opportunity for those attending concerts to virtually “Sing with the Choir.” Thanks to green screen technology, audience members will be able to put themselves smack dab in the middle of the Choir and sing along to that well-known American folk hymn “Amazing Grace.” Introduced at the American Choral Directors Association Conference earlier this year, “Sing with the Choir” drew more than 300 people and was an amazing attraction. Everyone gets an email with a YouTube link of their personal “performance” to share with friends and family.  It’s anticipated that the “Sing with the Choir” experience will be available at venues in Bethesda, Bethel, Saratoga Springs, and Boston.

And if you prefer to watch a ball game as you enjoy Choir music, the New York Yankees have invited the Choir to sing a selection of patriotic songs followed by the National Anthem at Yankee Stadium on July 3.  Tickets can be purchased for 50 % off select seats for this Yankees vs. Rays game.  Visit www.yankees.com/MTC and use discount code YANKEEDOODLE.
