In this March 31 photo, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs during the twice-annual conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The gospel singing group will now be called 'The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square,' The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said in a statement. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
