SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former Utah governor and U.S. Health and Human Services secretary has been named as the new president of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. Mike Leavitt’s new role leading the world-famous choir was announced Friday. The choir, formerly known as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, is a longtime staple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The choir suspended rehearsals, performances and tours during the coronavirus pandemic but announced last month that it will return with the orchestra with a live broadcast on Sept. 19. Leavitt is replacing Ron Jarrett, who had served as the troupe’s president since 2012.
