Events on Temple Square During The Tour
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will be heading west for their 2018 Classic Coast Tour from June 18 to July 3, 2018.
Adjustments have been made to the regular schedule of rehearsals and broadcasts in Salt Lake City while the Choir and Orchestra are gone. Since bells are used on tour, rehearsals for the Bells on Temple Square are also impacted by the tour. Special events have been scheduled for those whose summer travel plans include a visit to Temple Square when the Choir and Orchestra are out of town.

Before leaving on tour, the Choir and Orchestra will present a concert of tour repertoire for family, friends, and the public on Thursday, June 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
