Did you know that Music & the Spoken Word is celebrating nine decades of broadcasting—nearly the entire lifetime of radio—and is the longest continuously broadcast weekly program in radio history? If you did, congratulations!

Tickets are currently available for the concert on Friday and Saturday, July 19 and 20, at 8:00 p.m. in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.
It’s no surprise that when it comes to patriotic music, The Tabernacle Choir is often at the top of any search list. It’s a large part of the reason that Ronald Reagan gave the Choir the nickname “America’s Choir.” The 40th President of the United States said in 1981, “At my first inauguration as president of the United States, I wanted very much to reignite the fires of liberty and re-inspire the American spirit. And no one sings the anthems of America quite like The Tabernacle Choir.”
