Experience a Magnificent Event: Angels From The Realms Of Glory

In an extraordinary musical event, The Piano Guys, along with Peter Hollens, David Archuleta, and The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, came together to perform "Angels From The Realms Of Glory." This wasn't just any performance; it was a historic gathering where over a thousand people collaborated to break the world record for the largest live nativity scene, organized by the dedicated Harman Brothers and sponsored by Radiant.

The musical arrangement, composed beautifully by Marshall McDonald and Mack Wilberg, brought an ambiance of both reverence and grandeur. The harmonious fusion of Jon Schmidt on piano, Steven Sharp Nelson on cello, and striking vocals from Peter Hollens and David Archuleta, accompanied by the prestigious Mormon Tabernacle Choir, made this performance truly enchanting.
