Trans Siberian Orchestra Returns To Chicago with Their Annual Holiday Concert

Al Pitrelli, Music Director and Guitar Player, from Trans Siberian Orchestra discusses this year's incredible Christmas show coming to Chicago.

My family and I have some holiday traditions. Things like putting up our Christmas during Thanksgiving weekend, watching Christmas Vacation, and going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra.

If you've never been to a TSO show, I'll try to describe for you. Take all the best rock shows you've ever been to, then mix it in a pot, multiply it by ten, and light it on fire. That's how cool of a show they put on.

Once again, they are coming to Chicago for two shows at the Allstate Arena on December 28th at 3pm and 8pm.

Do yourself a favor and grab the family to check out this incredible live performance. Make it part of your family's Christmas tradition.

I got the chance to talk to Al Pitrelli. He's the Music Director and plays guitar for the band. He is also one of the original members.

I hope you enjoy the interview with Al.

I originally met him when he was a member of Megadeth and they played a show at the Midway Theater in downtown Rockford. In the past, TSO has done shows at the Coronado Performing Arts Center for their spring tour.
