How to watch the 2022 Christmas concert

After two years of pandemic-related precautions, the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s Christmas concert will be open to the public this year, as the concert in 2020 was canceled and the 2021 concert had a limited audience.

The concert is Thursday, Dec. 15, to Saturday, Dec. 17. Tickets for the event have been distributed and were available through an online registration and random selection in October. As with past Christmas concerts, it’s anticipated it will be available to watch on PBS and BYUtv during the 2023 Christmas season. 

On the Sunday morning following the concert, some concert repertoire and the guest artists are usually featured during the “Music & the Spoken Word” broadcast. The Sunday, Dec. 18, “Music & the Spoken Word” broadcast will be in the Conference Center and tickets are not required. See where to watch or stream the weekly broadcast on thetabernaclechoir.org.
