The DC Traveler

Trans-Siberian Orchestra takes a non-traditional approach to holiday music and Christmas carols by playing them in a rock opera style, that has caused them to receive critical acclaim.  Their sound includes the band’s three founding members, plus, at least in the studio, includes a 60-piece orchestra and full choir.  On the road, the band is reduced to only a dozen musicians, plus another dozen singers.

Since 1996, Trans-Siberian Orchestra has release 6 CDs, all but one Christmas and holiday music, with another one scheduled soon, but seemingly held up in production.
