Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah by The Johnson Strings - Family Band at Bettendorf Castle

Winner of the 2015 BEST MUSIC VIDEO at the Christian Worldview Film Festival in San Antonio, Texas! The powerful chords of the Hallelujah Chorus from George Friedrich Handel’s Messiah echo through the stone-walled courtyards and arches of this Gothic estate. This university trained, Christian family band tours the US, creating an unforgettable musical show that brings audiences to their feet night after night. The Johnson Strings' orchestral presentation of this timeless piece evokes a spirit of true worship: “Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.” Set in scenic Fox River Grove, IL, the Bettendorf Castle, built by the hands of one man, calls to mind visions of a greater heavenly mansion. Join us in the universal Christmas tradition of enjoying G. F. Handel’s Messiah!
