In February 2025, The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square made history by performing for the first time in Peru. As part of their world tour “Songs of Hope,” the renowned choir brought their inspiring music to Lima, where they delivered a moving concert before thousands of people. This visit not only marked a significant moment for sacred music in the country but also strengthened cultural and spiritual ties between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Peruvian community.
The Tabernacle Choir’s first activity in Peru took place on February 19 at the Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center. At this private event, more than 400 interfaith leaders, government officials, and other distinguished guests gathered to witness a special performance. The rendition of hymns and classical pieces was met with great enthusiasm, highlighting the artistic excellence and the message of peace and hope that the choir conveys through its music.
The main event took place on February 22 at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, where thousands gathered to enjoy the choir and orchestra’s performance. The program featured a diverse repertoire combining traditional hymns, classical music, and emblematic Latin American songs. One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the performance of “El Cóndor Pasa,” one of Peru’s most iconic melodies, which deeply moved the audience.
This concert was broadcast live to hundreds of Church meetinghouses in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, allowing a broader audience to experience the event. The live transmission was a testament to the impact and influence the choir holds internationally, reaching people across South America with its musical message.
In addition to their performances, choir members participated in various interfaith activities, promoting dialogue and unity among different religious denominations. These gatherings reinforced the choir’s ecumenical character and its mission to spread a message of hope and faith through music.
The impact of this visit was significant for both Church members and the general public. The Tabernacle Choir’s music is renowned for its ability to inspire and touch hearts, and their presence in Peru marked an unforgettable moment for those who had the opportunity to hear them live.
With this tour, The Tabernacle Choir reaffirms its commitment to bringing its music to different parts of the world, promoting peace and hope through their performances. Their visit to Peru will remain in the memory of many and will undoubtedly open the door for future visits to other Spanish-speaking countries.
