Celebrate the holidays with Tony Award-winning actress Sutton Foster and Downton Abbey star Hugh Booneville, guest musical artist and narrator, for this year's beloved Christmas tradition. The Grammy Award-winning and multiple Emmy Award-winning all-volunteer Mormon Tabernacle Choir is made up of 360 men and women who join their talents to create their trademark, instantly recognizable sound. They are accompanied by the Orchestra at Temple Square, a 150-member symphony that is likewise all volunteer.

Their world-famous sound is under the direction of music director Mack Wilberg and associate music director Ryan Murphy. The choir has appeared at 13 world's fairs and expositions, performed at six U.S. presidential inaugurals, and sung for numerous worldwide telecasts and specials. In 2016 they completed an acclaimed seven-concert tour to Europe, singing in some of the world’s most renowned concert halls.

Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been a PBS tradition for well over a decade, and has been the top viewed holiday program on PBS nearly every year for the past 14 years.
