The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, known for many years as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, is an iconic music ensemble with a legacy that reaches back to the mid-19th century. Officially founded in 1847, the choir is one of the oldest and most well-known choral groups in the world, and it serves as an ambassador for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints although its members participate on a voluntary basis. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the 360-member choir is accompanied by the Orchestra at Temple Square, the Bells on Temple Square, and the Gabriel Organ, all of which contribute to the majestic sound for which the choir is known.

The ensemble's repertoire includes a wide range of music from classical choral works to traditional hymns and patriotic songs. The choir's performances are a fixture of seasonal celebrations, particularly their annual Christmas concert which has featured an impressive roster of guest artists and is broadcast worldwide. With their weekly broadcast, "Music and the Spoken Word," they hold the record for the world's longest continuous network broadcast, having begun in 1929. Recent releases like "Season of Light: Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square" and "O Holy Night: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra at Temple Square" showcase the choir's dedication to stirring and poignant holiday music, while albums such as "Consider the Lilies (20th Anniversary Remastered Edition)" represent a deep catalog of spiritually uplifting works that have resonated with listeners for generations.
