Stephen Goddard | 1854-1856 | -- |
James Smithies | 1856-1862 | -- |
Charles John Thomas | 1862-1865 | First director to lead the choir in the current Salt Lake Tabernacle building in regular performances |
Robert Sands | 1865-1869 | Led Choir in first performance in Salt Lake Tabernacle |
George Careless | 1869-1880 | Composed a number of LDS hymns, many of which are still used today |
Ebenezer Beesley | 1880-1889 | Composed 11 hymns, which are still included in the current LDS hymnal |
Evan Stephens | 1890-1916 | Never married, but was sealed to two women. Composed a number of LDS hymns |
Anthony C. Lund | 1916-1935 | Implemented European choral sound in choir, made choir's first electrical recordings on the Victor Label |
J. Spencer Cornwall | 1935-1957 | Directed choir in its first performances abroad, authored one hymn |
Richard P. Condie | 1957-1974 | Collaberated with the Philadelphia Orchestra, their recording of " Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1958) winning a Grammy Award |
Jay E. Welch | 1974 | Served only six months, resigning due to an undisclosed illness |
Jerold Ottley | 1974-1999 | Led the choir in nearly 1300 broadcasts of Music and the Spoken Word. Also led the choir in more than 30 commercial recordings and more than 20 major tours in addition to regular concerts in Salt Lake |

Mack Wilberg | 2008-present | Prolific and published commercial composer |
My esteemed colleague, Grsz11, removed the sortable characteristic from the director table, saying it didn't do much. I contend that it does do much. The list is long and hard to read through. I think being able to sort by last names or dates (in either direction) is a desirable feature and I'd like to leave it in. If it interferes with anything, I'd like to hear about it. Anyone else in favor of removing it? — Frecklefσσt | Talk 17:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
