Registration for the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square’s Christmas concert tickets opened Monday, Nov. 2, with a deadline of Nov. 15 for the random selection process, according to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The event will take place Dec. 17–19, 2026, in the Conference Center at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. “The choir’s objective is to celebrate the life and birth of Jesus Christ.” There’s no better way to celebrate Christmas than with the music that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas,” said Tabernacle Choir President Michael O. Leavitt in a statement.
