Tabernacle Choir visits Buenos Aires...

The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ being preached in South America with two concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Friday and Saturday, August 22 and 23, 2025. These performances were the capstone of their celebration. The concerts featured cultural dances and songs from the region and paid tribute to the faith of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have helped share the message of Jesus Christ. Elder Quentin L. Cook, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, joined the Choir in Buenos Aires and enjoyed their musical testimony of Jesus Christ. “The Choir, through music, is striving to teach about Jesus Christ and His commandments,” said Elder Cook. “They did a wonderful job. It was absolutely amazing. I was so deeply touched.” “The world needs Jesus Christ. The world needs to know what He has done and to feel his love. Music can carry some of that message and can make people want to know more and grow closer to the divine,” said Cardús. For both concerts, missionaries serving in Buenos Aires came on stage to sing with the Choir. This was another way to express gratitude for the thousands that have helped share the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in South America. “Seeing [the missionaries] up there at the end — that brought tears to my eyes,” said Elder Cook. “Our message is very much about Christ and inviting others to come unto Christ and following His example, and I think we did that.”
