Concerts and Upcoming Events
(Please click here for a printer-friendly version of this page.)

The performing venues for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square are the Salt Lake Tabernacle (left) and the Conference Center (right). Most of the weekly broadcasts and rehearsals take place in the historic Tabernacle, for which the Choir is named. Finished by the Mormon pioneers in 1867, its remarkable acoustics provide an ideal setting for the Choir and Orchestra. Daily recitals are also given on the magnificent Mormon Tabernacle Organ. When a larger venue is needed, performances are hosted across the street in the 21,000-seat Conference Center, which was completed in the year 2000.
