ravinia last night... >> (singing) one of the most celebrated music experiences on the planet - the morman tabernacle choir produces a wall of sound so magnificent and at the same time, subtle and graceful. it's difficult for a tv camera to capture such elegance - like with most great music - nothing compares to the live experience.. which is why i was so thankful to the choir for letting me sing with them during soundcheck. (singing) 360 members strong - the choir

and orchestra are all mormon, and all volunteer. "despite the fact that it's volunteer, you have a lot of people here who have a very high level of musicianship" getting into the choir is extremely difficult.. with hundreds of singers auditioning each year for only a handful of openings. the three-phase audition process lasts more than a year - starting with *written exams testing music theory. "and then you wait another couple of weeks, and then you do an in-person audtion, it was a blessing to be a part of, a lot of fun" the choir prides itself on variety of repertoire. "this choir has a remarkable capacity to transcend cultrual bounderies and generational boundaries" aside from putting on a spectacular show featuring all kinds of music - bach to broadway - the choir is a proud ambassador for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.

"oh we'd love to recruit more people into the faith ... our devotion to god and our devotion to music" "my goal is that people know that god loves them and when i sing i try to express that in my face when i'm singing with the choir" several members spent time living in chicago. shipley munson lived in hyde park for many years. he says singing with the choir is a spiritual experience. "some people think there's a vail that separates us from heaven, and when you're exposed to this music, it's like for a tiny second someone has taken a pin and make a tiny hole, and for a moment.. you feel what it's like" millions of fans world-wide... grammys... gold records.. it was a pleasure and an honor to
