In December 2019, The Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra at Temple Square, and Bells at Temple Square joined with Tony Award®–winning star Kelli O’Hara and renowned actor Richard Thomas to celebrate this Christmas message of love, selfless service, and gratitude for a Savior who brings peace. With vocalists, instrumentalists, bell ringers, dancers, the Gabriel Trumpet Ensemble, and the Cold Creek bluegrass band, the music from these concerts thrilled the live audience of 60,000. This CD beautifully captures those moments to listen to again and again. Also available on DVD (WC9672), sold separately.
