SesameStreetMormonTabernacleChristmasConcert-(2014)

Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is an annual concert series for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas. The concerts were usually held in the LDS Conference Center auditorium in Salt Lake City, Utah during the month of December. The concert usually runs in four shows, such as a dress rehearsal on Thursday, shows on Friday and Saturday and an abbreviated show on Sunday following the Music and the Spoken Word morning program. A live album on CD and DVD is usually released, as with the concert airing on PBS, during the second half of the following year.
