Mormon Tabernacle Choir cancels overseas tour, cites security concerns
Published January 6, 2005
(RNS) The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has canceled a scheduled European tour this year due to concerns about terrorism.
The choir, which was going to make a summer tour of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, will make stops across the northwestern United States instead, the AP reported.
The change in plans for the 360-voice group came after Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, decided the trip would make the singers an easy target for terrorists.
