Tickets are available for purchase through the Hollywood Bowl website.

Marking 100 years since the Choir’s first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1926, this historic return will unite music and humanitarian purpose in a celebratory concert benefitting women and children around the world.

One hundred percent of ticket sale revenues from the concert will be donated to trusted charities, including CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project. These charities work with Caring for Women and Children, an initiative led by the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which is focused on improving the health, education, and well-being of women and children through local and global efforts.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will match the revenue from concert ticket sales, thereby doubling the charitable contributions associated with the event.

“This concert represents a meaningful intersection of music and purpose,” said Tabernacle Choir President Michael O. Leavitt. “As we return to the Hollywood Bowl, we do so not only to celebrate a historic moment, but to invite others to participate in efforts that uplift and strengthen families and communities.”
