Salt Lake Tabernacle & Tabernacle Choir
Salt Lake Tabernacle
Known for its column-free great dome and giant pipe organ, with free rehearsals by the Tabernacle Choir and daily organ recitals.
The Salt Lake Tabernacle was built in 1867. Its elliptical wooden roof spans the hall without a single interior column, and its acoustics are remarkable: a pin dropped on the pulpit can be heard in the back rows. The organ, with more than 11,000 pipes, is one of the largest in the world, and free organ recitals are held at weekday noon. The Tabernacle Choir (formerly the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) typically holds public rehearsals on Thursday evenings and broadcasts its Sunday-morning program 'Music and the Spoken Word' live. Both are free to attend. Sunday sessions are often held at the Conference Center, so arrive early to queue. Check the official website for performance times.
