The choir is so large they had to continue behind the main stage and still they made it work....wish they had sung longer. Grateful for Sound of Music encore..Would love to have heard Impossible Dream from Man of Last Manchester given the times we are living in. A Class act at a great place to see live music
The performance was absolutely spectacular. A must see...I found myself clapping and singing along. Just blown away by the talent and the lovely spirit of the choir.
It was a great event, i highly recommend the choir
Loved the concert and the venue was perfect. The Motab delivered!!
The recent Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert in Boston was a fabulous experience. Lots of memorable music, with an outstanding performance. The Choir and orchestra added many extras and "flairs" to the performance and made the night special. If you enjoy music of any type - GO!!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square were in top form for their July 6, 2015 performance at the Wang Center in Boston. The diction of the choir was excellent, and I was able to understand every word. They performed a wide variety of music: classical music, sacred music, Gospel music, Broadway show tunes, and American favorites. They used a variety of languages, and employed them very skillfully. The orchestra played very well and sounded really professional. The choir and orchestra were visually appealing. From an emotional and spiritual standpoint, I found the performance to be very moving. I was in tears at several points during the performance, and the people around me were also very moved by the experience. This performance was a celebration of spiritual well-being. Recordings of the choir were available for purchase, so I am able to keep on listening to this wonderful choir. I am a musician, and I can say that the choir really understands the art of singing, and that the orchestra really knows how to accompany the choir. This was an outstanding performance that I will remember for a long time.
I really enjoyed this concert it was unforgetable. The voices and the orchestra was amazing.
What a magnificent concert by "America's Choir" on their East Coast tour. There is really nothing else like it! The blend of religious, patriotic, and spiritual music was superb. This was about my sixth time hearing the choir in person, and I can't wait for the next time.
There are no words to describe the pure perfection of this choir and orchestra!!! So happy they performed in Boston. We drove down from Maine to see them. We were amazed from the moment they stepped onto the stage... The power of this choir is beyond words! Moved us to tears!!! Great selection of pieces and presentation.
Most outstanding choral performance I have ever experienced
The concert was incredible. Good variety of types of music. The choir, the orchestra, and all participants were not distracted by the harsh elements (blowing rain and wind).
Music was outstanding! Would have liked more hymns rather than show tunes.
The program was done in sets. There were spirituals, show tunes, classical and religious. There were also two wedding songs, one from Spain and the other from Africa. The African wedding song had the Choir doing things that were somewhat uncharacteristic but really fun. I won't spill the surprise for those that haven't seen the concert yet, but you will be blown away. Loved every minute of the concert.
This was a wonderful and amazing concert. Even the terrible weather could not dampen my enjoyment.
Amazing? Great sound, bad weather did not put a damper on show! its a shame more people didn't attend.
Wonderful performance, unfortunate weather. Was not dressed for the cold wind and heavy rain blowing across our section of seats
The visual effects were fascinating and unexpected. The vocals were expected to be great, and were, but probably would be a bigger sound in the Tabernacle.
Musically excellent. Choice of pieces very uplifting. God Country. Family. We need more of that in this country. So please come back and if you all can elongate the tour schedule. Help to save the USA!
In spite of the bad weather (cold, windy and rainy) the Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave an amazingly good performance that was enjoyed by all that attended. This was a world renowned choir and the first time they had made it to the Bethel Woods Arts center.
Wow! What an evening! Imagine being on a magic carpet flying from one continent to the next, experiencing all sorts of people and their culture, their emotion, their pain, their joy, their dignity, their courage and bravery, their sense of adventure, their romance, their fortitude, their patience and their majesty. Imagine the carpet touches down on our own United States and you suddenly experience the glory that our country was and the glory that her people can bring her back to, and your heart beats faster in your chest with a patriotic fervor. Imagine all of that within the space of 2 hours. That was my evening tonight experiencing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for the first time, up front and center. Starting off the coast of Europe with Welsh and Gaelic hymns, sweeping through the echoing majestic cathedrals of Europe with pieces by Gounod and Rossini, one even sung in the proper Latin, then suddenly flying across the American Plains with the early pioneers, in my minds eye, cresting the mountain tops with the setting sun while sitting mesmerized by their “Pilgrim Song.” Then after that almost anesthetizing moment in time, being suddenly and brutally wrenched from joy as the tortured shackled sound of African American Slave Spirituals wrench your heart and moisten your eye, watching and hearing and feeling the anguish of the soloist singing these songs of hopeless hope and desperation. And then, out of nowhere, to save you and raise you from that pit of sorrow, comes Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s mighty “Glory!” to fill you with impetuous bravado, and you are brought even further up as you are treated to the majestic courts of King David and Solomon, or so it seems by the sounds of a Sephardic Wedding Song straight out of The Ten Commandments or Ben-Hur! And then, almost as an antidote so that one does not explode from all the excitement, comes to your ears absolutely beautiful and harmonic sounds from Nigeria, and you close your eyes and sway with the choir as you are swept away to…to the Plateau State in central Nigeria, to the vast plains and mighty waterfalls and exotic animals, and it comes to mind, what a beautiful people to have made such a beautiful sound. Suddenly, you are torn from this, almost too soon the carpet brings you back to the States, where you are treated to romance and adventure and fun and the American Way of Life by the likes of Berlin, Rodgers, Gershwin and Willson. But temperance being a good thing, an emotional rendition of “Sunrise, Sunset” returns you to reality while it recalls the sufferings of a people through the sufferings of a father. I sat there and thought deeply of my own father who loved the film more than any other film, and I whispered, “Dad, wherever you are, pay attention to this!” There was a huge American Flag stage left and it seemed proper that the wind should begin to gust so mightily that the flag snapped and whipped about whilst the Choir and Orchestra mightily roared the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and left the piece echoing in our ears as they took their final bows. This was the end of the program, but they encored in the Mighty Mountains and Green Rolling Hills of Austria with an astoundingly beautiful rendition of “Climb Every Mountain.” The Choir ended the performance very appropriately, seeing the various cultures and races represented by the members, with “This Land Is Your Land,” and of course everyone was singing along! In spite of the weather, this turned out to be a wonderful evening with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at Bethel Woods. Mind you, it rained at Woodstock too!!
