          The Mormon Tabernacle choir first sang on August 22, 1847 (twenty-nine days after the pioneers had entered the Salt Lake Valley) at the first General Conference to be held in Utah.

          This conference met in a 28' x 40' "Bowery" with adobe walls and brush and earth roof. Three successively larger boweries replaced the first one.

          Elliott: So each conductor definitely has a different style so when I first came on board Jerald Ottley was the Music Director and Donald.


          John Parry, conductor (1849-1854)

          In 1849 Brigham Young invited Welsh convert John Parry to organize a choir for the next general conference, and this choir formed the nucleus around which the church's choral tradition grew.

          The first, or "Old," Tabernacle was completed in 1851.

          Stephen H. Goddard, conductor (1854-1856)

          James Smithies, conductor (1856-1862)

          A small organ handcrafted in Australia and brought to Utah by Joseph Ridges was installed in 1857.
