The Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave a concert for people attending the RootsTech conference. The concert was held after the choir's regular Thursday evening practice. It’s really something to watch a conductor work with 360 choir members on individual notes and parts.
The concert was magnificent. What a sound they make - a joyful noise unto the Lord. Almost every time I’m in the Tabernacle and hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I feel the Spirit very strongly - and I did so that night.
“God Bless America” was awesome - I do love this country.
We are indeed fortunate to be Americans.
One of the choir's selections was sung to "Toccata" which features the organ (and organist). You'll enjoy listening to this & watching the organist play. Remember his feet are playing pedals too. The concert in the video is in the Conference Center, not the Tabernacle.
Here is a great article about the concert. This blogger talks about a behind the scenes tour given to RootsTech bloggers.

Beautiful doors on the Salt Lake Temple
The doors with their carvings and hardware are full of scriptural symbolism.
