Pioneer Day Concert



If you live in Utah, you know what Pioneer Day is (July 24th, the day the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847). If you get BYU Television Channel, you can join in the celebration, wherever you are.

"Join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square for the annual First Presidency Pioneer Day Commemorative Concert filmed live at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. This concert celebrates the first company of pioneers, led by Brigham Young, who entered the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. Director Mack Wilberg conducts works from the choir and orchestra’s most recent tour through the Midwest. Songs from their 2009 spring release CD, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing, will also be performed. The concert also commemorates the 80th anniversary of Music and the Spoken Word broadcasts. A special video tribute, including archival footage of the choir, marks this event."
