Tabernacle Choir’s New Pilot Program Welcomes International Participants

Tabernacle Choir Embraces New Mission, Welcomes International Singers
In the eastern Mexican city of Monterrey, Georgina Montemayor Wong has spent weeks preparing her voice with digital recordings and virtual practice sessions in what she describes as a dream come true.
“It's just … it's a dream come true. It’s just like - wow!” expressed Montemayor Wong.
Like Montemayor Wong, nine other Latter-day Saints in several countries have been practicing since December 2022, when they received news of their selection for a new pilot program launched by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
For the first time in its 175-year history, participants living outside the United States will join the Choir during the upcoming 193rd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This is such an inspired pilot program! It's beautiful to see people from across the world coming to sing with the Choir in praises to God.

I cannot wait to hear the additional beautiful voices from around the world join together this conference.
Such a neat story for these two women, especially.
What an incredible blessing good music is to the soul. ❤

We appreciate your comment, thank you!

[@billscott9181]

This is a wonderful idea. Would love to see more of our brothers and sisters around the world participating in the Choir and sharing their musical talents.

I love this! To see the lost tribes coming together in song. 💟🙏 amazingly enough, that tabernacle roof was built as an upside down ship. So it’s like we’re all in the same boat together.

[@RamonaF1102]

How exciting, what an inspired program. Music truly is a universal language and cannot wait to hear the choir this weekend.

[@thetabernaclechoir]

We can't wait for general conference!

Every Kindred, Tongue, and People...
The Gathering of Israel is taking place in ways we cannot now fully understand.
To me, many Kindreds, Tongues and People will be gathered in and through music in the Lord's general conference this weekend.

Estoy muy alegre y contento con la familia Montemayor que ha hecho historia en favor del amor a Cristo.

[@payaj2815]

This is awesome. I really wish I had the talent of singing. To be there and singing praise to Heavenly Father would be an amazing experience. I am so happy for our two sisters.

[@00Fisher00]

It does look great. Remember that some of us come with more innate talent for singing, but all of us can learn and get better with practice. You might be surprised at what is possible!

[@ildenete3235]

Muito lindo o canto dos justos! O canto do coração reunidos fica mais lindo o Coro do Tabernáculo! 💚💜💛❤💙💟💗

So touching. What a great idea. The Church is true.

[@danward3928]

Very excited for those that get to participate!

[@jeffchance8257]

This is wonderful. It will lead to paths not yet envisioned. i pray the Choir will ramp it up quickly. Perhaps these become missionary callings for our international brothers and sisters.

[@helenjohnson7583]

How wonderful!! I also feel their joy!!!

[@juansmiles9924]

This is great, the Choir needs a more international projection, now it will be the greatest if they introduce international songs that people around the world identify from theirs own cultures.
