SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 18, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square have announced dates and venues for their rescheduled Heritage Tour.
The tour was originally postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, said a news release from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The choir will perform in seven cities across four Nordic countries and the United Kingdom, leaving Salt Lake City on June 16, 2022, and returning to the United States on July 7, 2022. The tour will include performances in the following cities and venues:

Choir President Ron Jarrett said the name of the tour is a nod to the choir’s history, the news release said. Some of its earliest members had roots in Wales and other areas of Europe that the choir will visit during its upcoming tour.
“We stand on the shoulders of these musical pioneers who created a legacy that has influenced the entire world for good,” Jarrett added. “What an honor it will be to share the joy and peace the music of the choir brings in some of the very places where it all began.”
