Tradition, talent and technology: How the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is taking over Christmas

SALT LAKE CITY — When Syndy Lambert was 10 years old, her mother joined the ranks of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Thanks in no small measure to the choir’s annual Christmas concerts, daughter couldn’t have been more enamored with her mom’s decision.

“I looked forward to those (Christmas concerts) every year — that was one of my big highlights,” Lambert recalled recently. “When I was in junior high and high school I would go to just about every rehearsal with my mom. … Even though it was cold outside, to come in and feel the warmth and the beauty of the songs was amazing. To hear that incredible sound the choir creates, and feel the spirit that’s there — there just isn’t anything like it anywhere.”
