SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which has recorded more than 150 albums on various industry labels, has created its own recording label.
The decision, announced March 17, marks a new juncture for the well-known group. It will now direct and produce its own recordings, including CDs, videos of some concerts and documentaries.
“The creation of our own label is a real landmark for the choir, something we’ve hoped to do for years,” said Mac Christensen, president of the choir, in a statement. “Having a solely owned label will give us greater creative freedom, the ability to control all aspects of the production and greater influence over distribution and marketing.”
The first release by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir label will be a CD titled “Consider the Lilies.” It is scheduled to debut in April.
The choir performs an average of 75 times per year, has won a Grammy and an Emmy, and has performed for 10 U.S. presidents.
