The next stop on The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square’s multi-year, multi-nation “Songs of Hope” tour will be in Peru from Feb. 18 to 25, 2025, according to an announcement on ChurchofJesusChrist.org on Monday, Sept. 30.
“This will be the choir’s first time performing in Peru,” said choir President Michael O. Leavitt of going to the South American nation. “We look forward to sharing the messages of hope and peace that can be found in the choir’s music.”
Those living outside the greater Lima area can view the concert live at Latter-day Saint meetinghouses and watch parties across Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
Information on venues, free tickets and guest artists will be announced at a later date.
Singer Adassa, known for her role as Dolores in “Encanto,” has performed with the choir several times, including during tour concerts in Mexico City, Mexico, in 2023 and in southern Florida in September. While she grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Adassa’s parents are from Colombia.
“I’m beyond excited to know that they’re going to be going to this side of the world where my blood, my people come from,” Adassa said in an interview during the Florida tour stop. “I’m so grateful to know that those Saints are going to be able to get the performance of this amazing choir. …. It’s going to be a gift for them, truly, and I know they are going to receive it with open arms.”
