Lloyd Noble Center, Mormon, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Motab, Norman

On June 27, the world renowned Mormon Tabernacle Choir will be performing at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma. This is their first time and possibly the only time they will ever be performing in the state.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir (or Motab when referred to casually) was formed in 1847 in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. Since then they have been a principle part of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ conferences and performances. However, they do not stick to church performances. They have also performed around the world at many world’s fairs and even at the inaugurations of five US presidents, most recently George W. Bush.

Performing with them will be the Orchestra at Temple Square. This orchestra was formed 10 years ago in order to expand the musical arm of the LDS church.

I recommend attending this performance. Motab is a must see event and tickets often go fast. For more information you can visit their Oklahoma performance site.
