Finding a hotel room June 18 in Downtown Madison might be a little tricky. That’s the night the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will make its first-ever appearance here. After the concert at Overture Center, the 600-person traveling group, which includes about 330 singers, 65 orchestra members and numerous spouses and crew members, will stay overnight in Madison. They will take up parts or all of five hotels.
“We try to be very courteous when it comes to using the elevators, but you really don’t want to be coming from or going to your hotel room when the choir arrives,” said Scott Barrick, the choir’s general manager.
