The 2026 Hollywood Bowl concert

The upcoming concert in the Hollywood Bowl is a benefit concert in collaboration with O.C. Tanner Gift of Music.

All of the ticket sale revenues from the concert will be donated to trusted charities, including CARE, Helen Keller Intl and The Hunger Project, reported the announcement. These charities work to improve maternal and child health, expand access to nutrition and education and provide safe and supportive environments for women and children. The Church has previously collaborated with these nonprofit organizations in their efforts around the world.

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

Guest artists Donny Osmond, David Foster, Katharine McPhee, Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus, announced the choir and the O.C. Tanner Music Trust on Monday, May 11.

While the past “Songs of Hope” tour concerts have been streamed on YouTube, this event will not be livestreamed, according to information from the choir. The Tabernacle Choir has extended an invitation to stakes throughout the United States (excluding those in Utah) to participate by hosting a watch party. Those interested in watching can reach out to their stake leadership about locations and times.
