Trans Siberian Orchestra

After our wining at InVINtions Tomato Bacon Bites, Larry and I went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra (TSO). I love them, and this is our 5th time seeing them. If you are not familiar with TSO, they are a band that does primarily Christmas music and classical Bach and Beethoven set to hard rock. They are known for their fantastic music, pyrotechnics and theatrics. They put on a fantastic show. I have never once been disappointed with their shows, and most likely we will be going again in the future. I think Christmas Eve in Sarajevo/Carol of the Bells is one of their most famous songs. It is certainly one of my favorites. 🙂

TSO was created in 1996. In 2007, the Washington Post referred to them as “an arena-rock juggernaut” and described their music as “Pink Floyd meets Yes and the Who at Radio City Music Hall.”^[6] TSO has sold more than 10 million concert tickets and over 10 million albums.^[5][7] The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven’s Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve, their two-disc Night Castle and Letters From the Labyrinth.^[5] Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers, moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music.

TSO always has 2 pianos, a violin and LOTS of guitar for every song, with a variety of singers and styles presented throughout the concert. All of the musicians are classically trained. It is always a VERY entertaining evening and a treat for ALL the senses.

The holiday season has officially begun. Make them merry and bright. 🙂
