Brian Mathias is one of three full-time organists for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, where he performs regularly on the famed V/206 Aeolian-Skinner organ in the Salt Lake Tabernacle and the V/130 Schoenstein organ in the LDS Conference Center. In this capacity, he appears frequently on the Tabernacle Choir’s Music and the Spoken Word radio and television broadcast (currently in its 91st year), and also on Piping Up!, a COVID-19 pandemic-inspired series of noon organ recitals originating from Temple Square and airing live on YouTube and Facebook three days a week.

Prior to his appointment as a Tabernacle Organist in January 2018, Mr. Mathias served as an adjunct faculty member at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where he taught applied organ and carillon as well as undergraduate and graduate courses in organ literature, service playing, and accompanying. Previously, he held positions at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, and Country Club Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri.

In addition to his frequent performances on Temple Square, he has performed solo recitals in many venues across the United States, including the Cathedral of the Madeleine (Salt Lake City, Utah), Washington National Cathedral (Washington, D.C.), BYU-Idaho (Rexburg, Idaho), and Texas A&M International University (Laredo, Texas). Among his collaborative performances are those with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra and Temple Square, the Salt Lake Vocal Artists, the BYU Baroque Ensemble, the Bonneville Chamber Music Festival (Ogden, Utah) and the Topeka Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Mathias holds Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Kansas (Lawrence, Kansas).
