There are multiple artists named The Brilliance: 1) The Brilliance is a contemporary classical music duo composed of David Gungor and John Arndt, originating from Tulsa Oklahoma. The journey started in early 2009 when David became inspired to create a unique and different musical experience outside of the typical "christian music" soundscape. "I wanted to make a Christian record that was constructed in a fresh way. I had an idea to base a record around a string quartet and piano, and then build around that."
