Christmas Concert

It has been a tradition for my family to go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square Christmas concert every year, so I thought I'd post about it for those of you who haven't heard of it. Each year the Choir invites a guest singer to perform with them at the Conference Center for a weekend in December. Angela Lansbury, Sissel, The King's Singers, and other well-known and/or international singers have been featured before. They sing traditional Christmas songs and carols from other countries. Brian Stokes Mitchell was the guest this time and it was amazing. They sometimes invite another person to be the narrator and read the Christmas story in Luke, and Edward Herrmann (Rory's grandpa in Gilmore Girls) was that this year. We took our friends Kate and Kent on Saturday and had a great night! Tickets are free, so I highly recommend going next December or buying the DVDs that come out each year.

If you're curious, here's a clip from the DVD of the 2006 concert with Sissel and a solo from the Music and the Spoken Word performance. Enjoy!
