Hip-hop violinist, pop-opera tenor headline Mormon Tabernacle Choir Pioneer Day Concert (+full concert video)

Appropriate to the Pioneer Day that it commemorates, Friday night’s concert of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square paid homage to perseverance, strength and triumph over adversity. Playing to a capacity audience in the 21,000-seat LDS Conference Center, the choir and orchestra were joined early on by guest tenor Nathan Pacheco, who sang his own inspirational work, “Don’t Cry,” which he composed with Leonardo de Bernardini.
