The choir, arguably one of the most well-known in the world, will now be known as “The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square” as the church moves away from the nickname “Mormon.”
“A new name for the Tabernacle Choir will represent a change after so many years,” choir president Ron Jarrett said in a statement released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “The name may change, but everything that people know and love about the choir will not only be the same but will get better and better.”
In August, church officials emphasized the use of the name of Jesus Christ in the church’s name.
The Lord has impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He has revealed for His church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” President Russell M. Nelson said in a statement in August.
