Johannus builds organ for largest indoor arena in the world.

Johannus recently built an imposing organ for the Philippine Arena, the largest indoor arena in the world. The ultra-modern 55,000-seat stadium (243 meters long, 193 meters wide and 62 meters high) is the largest covered arena ever built. The building was commissioned by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), the second-largest church denomination in the Philippines, with more than 6 million members. The church will use the building for a variety of purposes.
The INC asked Johannus to build a large custom-designed organ for this beautiful building. Johannus has never before built an organ for use in accompanying such a mass congregational singing. With hundreds of speakers, dozens of amplifiers and several sub-woofers, Johannus made it possible for all 55,000 worshippers to sing along with the three-manual organ during the INC centennial celebration, 27 July, 2014. The custom Monarke organ has 64 stops.
Johannus is increasingly asked to build organs for large international churches. While the demand for organs in Europe is gradually decreasing, the market in countries such as China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines is growing explosively. Christianity has been thriving there in recent years, and with it has followed the construction of mega-churches, where tens of thousands of believers come together to pray, to listen and to sing.
Johannus’ years of experience in more than 100 countries, and the relationship of trust that we have built together with our international clients, give us a major advantage as an organ builder. We have shown that a custom-designed Johannus organ has the capacity to be able to accompany congregational singing at such a massive scale.
The instrument in the Philippines is not the first organ that Johannus has sold in the country; the INC has previously ordered 100 smaller organs from Johannus. We also installed a comparable instrument in the Capitol House of Worship Building in Quezon City.

My friend Genesis is the organist shown playing in that very large church, which is located in the Philippines. He’s coming to visit me in a Boston soon.

A well-produced promotional video. I like the emphasis on the *pipe*-organ!

Proud filipino here 😁

I personally like Johannus more than Allen and Rodgers, but it'll still never be better than an actual organ. :/ However, makes sense in an installation like this though considering you'd never be able to build an organ suitable for that room in 6 weeks! Haha. Good Work Guys!

"without equal" - very diplomatic :P

Interesting video, but you never give us a taste of the full throated sound of an organ.

Amazing job Johannus; well done! Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 1:20 and plays in the background until 4:23.

[@genesisrivera4331]

the background music is a hymn of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) entitled "A Change Took Place in my Life". You could watch and hear the entire hymn also here at youtube.
