Circle completed in Winter Quarters for Tabernacle Choir
Choir performs in land where famed pioneer hymn was composed
OMAHA, Neb. — Mormon pioneers sang as they crossed the plains after their exodus from Nauvoo. The songs lifted spirits, helped renew courage and generally provided a distraction from the rigors of their journey.
Members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square are following in the footsteps of their pioneer ancestors, literal and spiritual progenitors who trekked westward to "find the place which God hath prepared."
On tour in several Central and Midwestern states, the choir includes "Come, Come, Ye Saints" in its concert program. With its performance in Omaha's Holland Performing Arts Center Tuesday evening, June 23, a circle seemed completed.
