A choir from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints performed during the America Days celebration at Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar on June 6, joining events organized by the U.S. Embassy in Mongolia and the American Chamber of Commerce in Mongolia. The celebration marked the upcoming 250th anniversary of United States independence on July 4 and highlighted the longstanding friendship between Mongolia and the United States through cultural exhibits, educational opportunities, American businesses, and traditional food.
Church members spent several weeks preparing for the performance, with individual ward choirs rehearsing separately before joining for combined practices under the direction of Sister Unurjargal. During the event, the choir performed “America the Beautiful” and the Mongolian song “Eternal Mongolia.” In a message shared for the occasion, the U.S. Embassy in Mongolia emphasized the importance of international partnerships and mutual respect. Choir member Khongorzul said participating in the event was a privilege and brought back memories of singing in a church choir 15 years earlier.
