Performing with his "idols", the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - The guest performers of this year's 'Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert' say the experience is once-in-a-lifetime.

Singer David Archuleta and actor Michael York spoke together Friday at the LDS Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City.

Archuleta, who is from Utah, says he grew up listening to the choir and says it's even his number one played list on his iPod.

But, Archuleta says being able to stand on the same stage as the choir is a dream come true. "There's no place like performing here, and it's just really incredible having the choir just right behind you, it's like wow, is this really happening?" says Archuleta.

The concerts are Friday and Saturday evening at the LDS Conference Center. All of the seat tickets are gone, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave them away for free. They are being sold for big bucks on internet sites.
