Mormon Choir Cancels 2005 European Tour
- Share via
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has canceled its planned tour of northern Europe next year because of concerns about terrorism, and the choir will instead tour the Northwest.
The 360-voice choir based in Salt Lake City was scheduled to make a tour of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, decided the trip would make the group an easy target for terrorists.
The tour was first changed to England, Scotland and Wales, with a stopover in Paris. But that was also deemed too dangerous.
