We go to Salt Lake City about once a year and go to their rehearsals while we're in town. .

Magnificent!

During all our/my trips to SLC, we've never been there for either their rehearsal or their Sunday performance. Only watched video. They must sound awesome live!

I've been to a rehearsal in SLC. Like the choir rehearsals I was in back in the day, it's mostly rehashing of bits and pieces the conductor thinks needs perfecting, but occasionally they put it all together and then the Tabernacle Choir blows you away. It's magnificent! I've seen a video of them doing their Christmas special, but that's not quite the same as live.

Back in the 1960's I traveled on tour with my college (RPI) Glee Club and we got challenged to do ad hoc performances a few times. Those were fun! I still remember making a lunch stop at another college campus simply because it was a convenient way to get a cheap meal for 32 hungry young men. We were wearing our distinctive red blazers (for billing purposes) and the crowd spontaneously invited us to "sing for our supper". We did a couple traditional glee club songs from wherever we were sitting and managed to stun the listeners for several moments before they broke into applause. One of the most rewarding moments of my amateur vocal career.

I've been to a rehearsal. The Choir is only half of the experience - the other is the amazing acoustics in the Tabernacle where you can literally hear a pin dropped on the podium from anywhere in the Hall (which the conductor demonstrates). And during the rehearsal applause is welcome and appreciated by the Choir members.

Those acoustics are, indeed, amazing. We've been there, but not when the choir was - on recordings and on TV they sure do sing purty...

Aye, we've attended other concerts there, just not the MTC.
