Eva Koleva Timothy
Eva is an award-winning fine art photographer and Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally, including by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Oxford University, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Eva’s debut monograph, Lost in Learning: The Art of Discovery, received the PX3 People’s Choice Award in Paris and blends perfectly with the Worlds Without Number exhibit emphasis on discovery.

She received her Master of Music Degree from the renowned Juilliard School in New York City and her Bachelor’s Degree in violin performance from The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
Kurt Bestor
Bestor is perhaps best known for his innovative interpretation of seasonal carols found in his popular 5 CD boxed set “The Complete Kurt Bestor Christmas,” and his haunting musical prayer for peace “Prayer of the Children.” The Utah based composer and performer launched his career writing music for television and movies. His credits include more than 40 film scores and more than 40 themes for national TV programs and commercials.
Bruce Lindsay
Bruce Lindsay was in the second grade when he wrote his first Christmas story for The Plymouth School News. His interest in writing led to a career in journalism as an Emmy Award-winning reporter and newscaster. Decades of presenting current events to large television audiences never brought him more satisfaction than reading Christmas stories aloud to his children and grandchildren. Bruce received an MBA from the University of Utah. His favorite places to write are on a ship or on a train or in the shade on his back porch.
The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square
With their incomparable voices and their shared faith in God, the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square is a significant presence in the world of music, giving service through song. The choir is dedicated to the universal language of music that has the power to bring joy, peace, and healing to its listeners.
