ATLANTA — The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square brought down the house at the final stop on their tour of the southeastern United States.
The performance at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta Wednesday evening included a special surprise guest. Broadway star and actress Kristin Chenoweth took the stage to a boisterous standing ovation from the thousands who attended.
“Hello, Atlanta!” Chenoweth said, beaming.
The singer – who has previously appeared with the Tabernacle Choir, including at its Christmas concert in 2018 – went on to perform “Angels Among Us” as a tribute on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
