Join us for the exciting modern update of Brett Raymond’s groundbreaking album First Light: Scenes from the Restoration. The album and performance feature soloists Lexi Walker, Casey Elliott (from GENTRI), Kenneth Cope, Brett Raymond, Yahosh Bonner, and Daniel Beck as they retell the story of the First Vision and other landmark events in Joseph Smith’s life from the perspective of important characters who were involved.
Featuring orchestra, choir, and these incredible soloists, this concert will transport you to the time and place where the Restoration occurred in a moving tribute to one of the most important moments in history.
For nearly 200 years, skeptics and critics have attempted to explain away what David Whitmer, Oliver Cowdery, and Martin Harris claimed—that they had seen angels and hefted golden metal plates containing ancient inscriptions. Now, for the first time, their amazing untold true story comes to the big screen in the family film event of the year—Witnesses. Featuring a world-class cast, Witnesses has been hailed as the most significant and ambitious film dealing with the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the translation of the Book of Mormon ever made.
