The Mormon Youth Symphony and Chorus was an official musical organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1969 to 1999. The choral arm of the group provided music for the church's annual and semi-annual general conferences, usually during the Saturday afternoon sessions. The group was disbanded during the 1999 reorganization of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and resulting creation of the Orchestra at Temple Square.
[edit] History
During the solemn assembly sustaining Howard W. Hunter as president of the church, members of the choir erroneously raised their hands when only members of the Quorum of the Twelve were to do so.
In the mid-1990s, the name was officially changed to Mormon Youth Chorus and Symphony, to reflect the age restrictions enforced on the choir but not enforced on the symphony. When performing alone, the symphony after this time was known simply as the Mormon Symphony.
