SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a serious organization that takes its music, professionalism and dedication seriously.
But as we've seen, the choir also has a good time, even if that good time does incorporate the formality of "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah."
Now that the choir has returned triumphant from its two-week East Coast tour and completed its Pioneer Day concert on July 17-18, it was time for a small but exuberant celebration.
