The choir will kick off its tour at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale, on Sept. 7. The stadium is the largest indoor arena in the state, seating over 19,000 people.
In Georgia, the choir will make a special appearance at the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College on Sept. 9.
In October 2023, the choir hosted the glee clubs from Morehouse College and Spelman College in Salt Lake City, where the two groups performed on the choir’s weekly television, radio and internet broadcast of “Music & the Spoken Word.”
“When the Morehouse College and Spelman College glee clubs performed with the Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City, the music was unforgettable. When these great choir organizations perform together, the result is both beautiful and culturally significant,” choir President Michael O. Leavitt said.
In April 2023, Morehouse College officials presented President Russell M. Nelson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with the school’s inaugural laureate of the Gandhi-King-Mandela Peace Prize.
