THE PIANO GUYS RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR  “ODE TO JOY TO THE WORLD”  A HOPEFUL MUSICAL MANIFESTATION OF THE JOY OF LIFE

 

(November 20 – Toronto) With over a billion YouTube views across their 50+ music videos, Billboard chart-topping group, The Piano Guys, release their latest video – an uplifting blend of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” and Handel’s “Joy to the World” – watch the video HERE. The audio track is also available now via all download and streaming services.

The video was filmed in the stunning Salt Lake Assembly Concert Hall and features the Debra Bonner Unity Gospel Choir (conducted by Debra Bonner) and The Wesley Bell Ringers (conducted by Terry Waite).

“Life is about joy. So why do we tend to let life get in the way of joy?” said The Piano Guys.  “We’ve been through a great deal of ups and downs, drastic changes, and even tragedies this past year. Jon and his family, especially, have suffered at the hands of brutal uncertainty, impending hopelessness, and inexplicable loss. We offer this song as a musical manifestation of what we felt.”

The Piano Guys’ success story continues with their just-released holiday album, Christmas Together (Portrait/Sony Music Masterworks) topping the Billboard charts.  The album made its debut at #8 on the Billboard Top Albums chart and at #27 on the Billboard 200. It also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Holiday/Seasonal, Classical and Classical Crossover album charts.
