“I’ve played in smelly rock clubs all over the world, and I love it, but tonight, it’s very special.” “This is quite a different concert from the shows I normally do,” acknowledged Stirling, who, like Pacheco, is a recent Brigham Young University graduate. Two selections by the choir and orchestra from “The Secret Garden” - “Hold On” and “Come to My Garden” - were followed by the entrance of guest artist Lindsey Stirling, whose kinetic blending of hip-hop violin playing and modern dance has garnered her a following of 300 million YouTube viewers.
The second selection in Pacheco’s opening set, “Prendi I Miei Sogni,” was a “brand new, fresh off the press” creation by his friend Colin O’Malley, who, when he found out Pacheco would be performing it at the concert, wrote parts expressly for the choir. … Your heart is strong enough to see this battle won. “Don’t cry, your heavy tears will fade away,” he sang. Playing to a capacity audience in the 21,000-seat LDS Conference Center, the choir and orchestra were joined early on by guest tenor Nathan Pacheco, who sang his own inspirational work, “Don’t Cry,” which he composed with Leonardo de Bernardini. Appropriate to the Pioneer Day that it commemorates, Friday night’s concert of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square paid homage to perseverance, strength and triumph over adversity.
