Do you have to be Mormon to be in tabernacle choir?

Answer 1

Primarily the choir sings hymns of the traditional and classic variety. The Choir has been singing for more than 80 years. It has increased its repertoire from around one hundred songs to nearly a thousand. In the 1950s, the Choir made its first tour of Europe and earned a Grammy for its recording of "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Answer 2

Can be any number of people. Chamber choirs have 16 members typically, like Harry Christophers The Sixteen, or they can have hundreds, or 50, or 20, or 10... any number. There is no limit really, unless it's much less than 10- then it's more of an ensemble or you give a specific term such as quartet (4 singers), quintet (5) etc.

Answer 3

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir consists of 360 singers. How many seats are in the choir stand depends on when and where they are singing. The choir's official home is the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square. However, in the summer months and during church conferences in April and October, the choir moves to the LDS Conference Center across the street. The reason is twofold: The audiences are bigger, and the Tabernacle doesn't have air conditioning. Both the Tabernacle and the Conference Center have adjustable seating, meaning seats can be added or removed as needed. Usually, there are 360 seats, because the choir is set at 360 members, but if there are guest artists or musicians joining the performance more can be added.

Answer 4

There are 21,000 seats in the Conference Center, and the concert is usually held over 3 nights. So, approximately 63,000 people attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert each year, with others watching via broadcasts or recorded DVDs.

Answer 5

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is based in the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is where their offices and weekly rehearsals and performances take place, with the exception of larger events such as the Christmas, Easter, and summer season concerts, which take place across the street in the LDS Conference Center. The Choir goes on tour every few years as well.
