I've gotta say, we are so lucky to have the Mormon Tabernacle Choir here so close. I try to go to Music and the Spoken Word frequently, but it's been a while. I went today with some friends and was really moved. For those that don't know, they perform weekly, every Sunday morning, in the Tabernacle for free. It's open to the public and anyone over 8 years old may go and watch. It is an absolutely incredible experience to hear them live, especially in the Tabernacle. They did a great service for our veterans and every song was patriotic. It was a fantastic program. if you've never been to see them live, I can't recommend it enough. They sing all sorts of songs, not just religious ones. It's 30 min long, and there are many secular pieces as well. No matter how religious or anti-religious you are, you owe it to yourself to hear one of the world's best choirs live.
I've been involved in national championship choirs, and I've heard the best of the best. The Tabernacle Choir has really stepped up their game in the past 10 years as Mack Wilberg has started conducting them. They are truly a world-class group with insane talent. Are there better choirs singing more difficult pieces? Probably, but this choir is incredible. If you enjoy music, I guarantee you will enjoy seeing them in person. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to go back. I hope to be able to sing in the choir one day, that would be a dream come true.
For more details about attending a free session of Music and the Spoken Word, see their website.
