In addition to live performances, the Choir has also found ways to engage with people while on tour by holding special receptions before each performance. Guests often include arts organizations; notable musicians; media; and government, community, and religious leaders from the area. The reception provides a unique one-on-one opportunity for guests to learn more about the Choir. After attending the reception and concert in Zurich, religious scholar Professor Jean-François Mayer wrote, “Faith may not always move mountains, but it changes lives. . . . It is not the love of music alone that motivates the members of The Tabernacle Choir, but their faith.”
“I don’t often have the opportunity to personally meet with those who support the Choir through Philanthropies, so I was thrilled to be able to do so on the Choir’s tour through the Northwest of the United States a few years ago. My wife, Lucie, and I, with a few members of the Choir, spent a wonderful evening with generous individuals who were curious about the Choir— its purpose and overall mission. It was a unique occasion to meet our supporters on a much more personal level and spend quality time getting to know them. Lucie and I talked, laughed, shared experiences, and answered many questions about the purpose of the Choir. I was once again filled with gratitude for our supporters that help make the mission of the Choir possible.”

Newly appointed president of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, Michael Leavitt, summarized the current happenings of the Choir when he recently said, “A global church needs a global choir.”
Through modern technology and some creativity, The Tabernacle Choir now reaches millions around the world, and offers hope and inspiration in a time when it’s needed most.
