  • Maybe the reason we get chills when we hear them is because they are not just singing a song, they are bearing their testimonies of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
  • This IS THE BEST choir on earth!! No other choir sings like the Mormons. They deserve a standing ovation every single time!!!! And their orchestra ties in perfectly too!!!

  • I am amazed that the orchestra is not paid. In Canada (Toronto) the Mendelssohn is not paid, but the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is. My deepest respect and gratitude to these musicians for donating their professional skills and time to the Church. My heart felt prayers and thanks go out to you. A hundred thousand blessings to you all.

    That so many singers could coordinate their voices so exactly such that you hear each and every note of the trills and arpeggios is amazing and a tribute to the greatness of this choir.
