Download Photo“Come and Behold Him,” the opening Christmas concert presented by Temple Square Performances from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, premieres Friday, November 29, 2024, at 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
Tickets are sold out for the live performance in the Tabernacle on Temple Square, but the concert will be live streamed on November 29 on broadcast.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and on the Church’s YouTube inspiration channel in English. The recorded broadcast also will be available for on-demand viewing throughout the Christmas season.
The Christmas concert features a live orchestra and various live artists performing 11 new arrangements and mashups of beloved Christmas songs from film score composer Jonathan Keith.
“The music is, as you might expect from a film score composer, grand and cinematic,” said Adele Parker, a product manager in the Church’s live events division. “Jonathan has added Latin, Polynesian, folk, Middle Eastern, and gospel musical styles and unique instruments from around the world,” she said.
Soloists include Kevin Odekirk, Madilyn Paige, Tanner James, and Sonja Poulter. The concert also features the Giddins family and Malialole Entertainment Group, with musical support from the Salt Lake Choral Artists and a professional orchestra led by Dr. Brady Allred.
A free, pre-recorded album of the evening’s music will be available sometime after the live concert on the Sacred Music app.
See this schedule for daily performances happening November 30 through December 23, 2024, from choirs sponsored by schools, missionary, and community organizations, as well as various string, flute, guitar, and bell groups on Temple Square and at other nearby locations. Concerts at 4:30 p.m. in the Tabernacle will be live streamed.
