Museum to host musical evening

The Church History Museum will host Music for an Autumn Evening, part of the \"Evenings at the Museum\" series, on Nov. 13, 7-9 p.m. at the museum in downtown Salt Lake City.

The evening will feature former Metropolitan Opera soprano Ariel Bybee, harpist Tamara Oswald and flutist Jeannine Goeckeritz, with Lloyd D. Newell , the Mormon Tabernacle Choir announcer and writer.

Bybee will perform a special program of hymns that appeared in Emma Smith's hymn book. She will sing some verses to their original tunes, and some to tunes that are contained in the current LDS hymnal.

Newell has been the voice of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for almost 20 years as the narrator of the weekly \"Music and the Spoken Word\" program. He will share his experiences working with the choir.

Oswald and Goeckeritz perform and tour with the Orchestra on Temple Square as the principal harpist and principal flutist. Together, they will play folk hymns and other early church music

Music for an Autumn Evening is free to the public. No tickets are necessary. For information, go to www.lds.org/churchhistory/museum.
