Pioneer Day Commemoration Concert

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will present the annual Pioneer Day Commemoration Concert on July 22, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The concert continues an annual tradition of commemorating the arrival of the first Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake valley on July 24, 1847.  This year the theme of pioneering will be expanded to encompass the faith and sacrifice of servicemen and women.  The Choir and Orchestra will perform songs of faith and inspiration interspersed with video vignettes of real life stories of patriotism, valor, and service.  Special guest artists will join in the musical commemoration for an evening that will entertain and inspire.
