Pop Stars "Blown Away" by MoTab
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Don Mischer, the Emmy award-winning producer
hired to stage the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter
Olympic Games says that several of the mainstream popular music
artists that have signed on for the opening ceremonies have already
held rehearsals with the 320-voice Mormon Tabernacle Choir and were
"completely blown away" by them. The groups that have signed on to
perform during the opening ceremonies include Sting, Dixie Chicks,
LeAnn Rimes, the Band's Robbie Robertson, and famed chellist Yo-Yo
Ma. Numerous reports in the media have reported on the mix of opening
acts, and hinted that the choir will back up Sting and others.
