“President Gordon B. Hinckley asked that there be a summer concert series for the [sesquicentennial] celebration, and there have been performances ever since.” –Marilyn Lorensen, program manager for Temple Square performances

Performances at Temple Square started 31 years ago with the Church’s sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) celebration and are still going strong today.

“President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008) asked that there be a summer concert series for the celebration, and there have been performances ever since,” said Marilyn Lorensen, program manager for Temple Square performances.

The Temple Square concert series is generally classical in nature and appeals to a variety of audiences. Sister Lorensen said that for the many tourists who visit Temple Square, the performances can “help them feel the Spirit” in a neutral, inviting way.

All of the performances are free, including the concert series at Brigham Young Park. Performing artists volunteer their talents.

Upcoming concerts are listed below. Some major events will be announced separately, including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert and Savior of the World.
