Next Monday, the 12th, the Upper Valley Women’s Choir is putting on a concert for Christmas. It starts at 7:30 pm at the Rexburg Tabernacle at 51 N Center Street by the library. The auditorium only holds 1000 people so be sure to arrive in time to get a good seat. Admission is free and it is held to benefit Alivia Ward who was born this year with a rare liver disease and needs a transplant.
The Rexburg Tabernacle was built in 1911 from stone quarried locally. In 1977, after the Teton dam flood, the city of Rexburg acquired the building from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and has worked to preserve it as a cultural center and historical museum that opened after extensive repairs in 1982. In the next year the tabernacle will be undergoing renovation and restoration projects.
Our tabernacle also hosts the Rexburg Tabernacle Orchestra that performs regularly in the spring and summer months free to the public. Various other professional concerts are also held there throughout the year.
