The Tabernacle was completed in October 1867 and the choir held its first concert there on July 4, 1873.[8]

The choir started out fairly small and rather undisciplined. On April 6, 1869,George Carelesswas appointed as the choir's conductor and the Tabernacle Choir began to improve musically. Under Careless, the first large choir was assembled by adding smaller choral groups to the main Salt Lake Choir. This larger choir, just over 300, sang at the church's October 6–8, 1873general conference.It was at this point that the choir began to match the size of the spacious Tabernacle. On September 1, 1910, the choir sang the song "Let the Mountains shout for Joy"[9]as their first ever recording. Three hundred of the 600 members showed up for the recording.[10]

Since July 15, 1929, the choir has performed a weeklyradio broadcast,Music & the Spoken Word,which is one of the longer-running continuous radio network broadcasts in the world.[11]

Later directors brought more solid vocal training and worked to raise the standards of the choir. The choir also began improving as an ensemble and increased its repertoire from around one hundred songs to nearly a thousand. On July 15, 1929, the choir performed its first radio broadcast ofMusic & the Spoken Word.By 1950, the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square performed numerous concerts each year and had released its first long-playing recording. During the 1950s, the choir made its first tour of Europe and earned aGrammy Awardfor its recording of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

At the end of the choir's 4,165th live broadcast on July 12, 2009, the show's host, Lloyd D. Newell, announced another milestone that the show had hit: the completion of its 80th year in existence. The show has been televised since the early 1960s and is now broadcast worldwide through approximately 1,500radioandtelevisionstations.

On October 5, 2018, the choir retired the name "The Mormon Tabernacle Choir" and adopted the name "The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square" in order to align withthe direction of LDS Church leadershipregarding the use of terms "Mormon"and" LDS "in referencing church members. The new name retains the reference to the historic Salt Lake Tabernacle, which has been the choir's home for over 150 years, and its location on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah.[12]

Several award-winning popular artists have reflected on the beauty of the choir's music publicly, includingBryn Terfel,[13]Gladys Knight(ofGladys Knight & the Pips),[14]Sting(ofThe Police),[15][16]James Taylor,[17]Ric Ocasek(ofThe Cars),[18]andThe Osmonds.[19]
