SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Tabernacle Choir will pay tribute to the United States this summer when they sing at Yankee Stadium.

The New York Yankees announced the pre-game performance Monday. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir will sing a short medley of patriotic songs July 3 before performing the National Anthem, according to a Mormon Tabernacle Choir press release.

The performance will be part of the choir’s Atlantic Coast Tour, where they will visit Bethesda, Maryland; New York City; Saratoga Springs, New York; Bethel Woods, New York; and Boston, Massachusetts. The choir will tour from June 24 to July 7.

The choir tours once every other year. This will be the first time in more than a decade that the choir will travel to the east coast.

"The saying goes that there’s nothing more American than baseball and apple pie, and I would add, having America’s Choir lift its voices in patriotic songs to celebrate the birth of this great nation," Ron Jarrett, President of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, said in a statement. "It is an absolute thrill and honor for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to sing in such an iconic venue like Yankee Stadium for thousands of Yankees fans."
