I Attended The Christmas With The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
I attended the Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle choir, Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells on Temple Square.

Rolando Villzon sung song from his culture. He sang ââ¬Å"Cancion para la Navidad,â⬠Il eat ne, le diving Enfant,â⬠ââ¬Å"O souverain, O juge, O pere, from Le Cid,â⬠and more.

There was a huge choir made up of men and women that sung along with him. A part from the singers there were many talented musicians. There were drums, violins,
