The Tabernacle Choir Returns To Hollywood Bowl For 100th Anniversary
100% of ticket sale revenues from the concert will be donated to trusted charities, including CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project.
The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square and the O.C. Tanner Gift of Music Trust have announced that tickets for the Songs of Hope Benefit Concert at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California, will be available beginning April 17, 2026. The concerts will take place June 24–25, 2026.
Marking 100 years since the Choir's first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1926, this historic return will unite music and humanitarian purpose in a celebratory concert benefitting women and children around the world.
100% of ticket sale revenues from the concert will be donated to trusted charities, including CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project. These charities work to improve maternal and child health, expand access to nutrition and education, and provide safe and supportive environments for women and children.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will match concert ticket sale revenues, thereby doubling the charitable contributions associated with the event.
“This concert represents a meaningful intersection of music and purpose,” said Tabernacle Choir President Michael O. Leavitt. “As we return to the Hollywood Bowl, we do so not only to celebrate a historic moment, but to invite others to participate in efforts that uplift and strengthen families and communities.”
The benefit concert will feature the renowned Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square in a celebratory evening designed to entertain, inspire, and unite audiences through music. Guest artists will be named at a later date.
These performances continue the Choir's expanding global travel, following recent international concerts in Mexico City, Manila, Lima, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo as part of its Songs of Hope tour.
