Emmy and Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth will be the featured guest artist and narrator at this year’s Christmas concert by The Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells on Temple Square, on December 13, 14, and 15 in the Conference Center.
The three performances are under the direction of Mack Wilberg, music director of the Choir, and Ryan Murphy, associate music director.
“Kristin Chenoweth is larger than life, I just hope the Conference Center can contain her performance!” said Ron Jarrett, president of The Tabernacle Choir, in a statement. “We have a very special concert planned to showcase her tour de force talents, which will ring in the Christmas spirit in an unforgettable way.”
Over the course of three nights, the concert is seen by a combined audience of over 60,000 in the Conference Center, plus millions more who can tune in to watch the holiday special on PBS and BYUtv in December 2019.
“Kristin Chenoweth will be among the most versatile voices to grace the conference hall stage,” added music director Mack Wilberg. “Just like the Choir and Orchestra, she is comfortable in a variety of styles, and we are delighted she has accepted our invitation to perform with us.”
On October 20, tickets will become available at lds.org/events. Patrons will need a My LDS Tickets username and password, which they are encouraged to obtain in advance of the Saturday ticket availability.
