Mark your calendars, DIA community and family potluck picnic October 10 Rainbow City
June 24 and 25, The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square is commemorating their first performance at the Hollywood Bowl (100 years ago), with a concert to benefit women and children. Ticket proceeds will be matched by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for donating to CARE, The Hunger Project and Helen Keller International.
In Woodland and in stakes across the U.S. on June 26, Watch Parties will be held, with enhanced sound and video quality, so we can invite our neighbors and share a Tabernacle Choir concert here! Choir concerts are more versatile than the Choir’s weekly Sunday broadcasts. They perform international music, and selections once described as “Bach to Broadway”. Special guest performers will be Donny Osmond, David Foster, Katharine McPhee, Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus.
Details: Woodland Stake Watch Party, June 26, 2026, 7.p.m. Woodland Stake Center, 850 Pioneer Avenue. Games and snacks at 6 p.m.
Here is a short video about the actual concerts in Los Angeles.
