Ensign Symphony & Chorus is pleased to welcome guest conductor Craig Jessop, former Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductor and current Dean of the Caiirne College of the Arts at Utah State University. We'll perform works that remind us all to take the road less traveled, to celebrate the triumphs in life, and to return thanks to God for our blessings.

Elgar's Nimrod, Holst's Jupiter, and other soaring classical works are paired with touching inspirational works like Mack Wilberg's Amazing Grace, John Rutter's Gaelic Blessing, and Randall Thompson's The Road Not Taken. Celebrate your triumphs together with us!

The new Ensign Symphony & Chorus fills a unique space in the panoramic performing arts scene of the Puget Sound region. Some 150 Ensign singers and instrumentalists, led by Rob Archibald and Fabio Pirola, perform a broad repertoire of joyous music in the tradition of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, BBC Symphony Chorus and Westminster Symphonic Choir, infusing life-long university, church and community ensemble training with a passion that is profoundly moving.
