Tabernacle Choir Watch Party Features Community Service Project and Live Performance from The Piano Guys

By Corey Christiansen, Denver Metro News Media Specialist

Several thousand members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently packed into Denver’s new CoBank Arena for an incredible night of music and service.

The main attraction for the evening was to watch a rebroadcast of the June 24-25 performance of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square at the Hollywood Bowl in California. This was a benefit concert dedicated to improving the health, education and well-being of women and children across the globe.

Prior to the rebroadcast, dozens of young single adult members of the Church came from throughout Colorado to participate in a JustServe service project just outside the arena. The volunteers braved the 90-degree heat to create reusable bags for local food pantries out of t-shirts. In total, the YSA members created 700 bags in less than two hours.

In addition to watching the Tabernacle Choir concert, attendees were also treated to a thrilling live performance from The Piano Guys. Pianist Jon Schmidt and cellist Steven Sharp Nelson entertained the audience with their signature blend of humor and uplifting music. The Utah-based group performed for about 30 minutes followed by the Tabernacle Choir rebroadcast which attendees enthusiastically watched together on CoBank Arena’s large screens.
