Trans-Siberian Orchestra Returns this Holiday Season to Rock Ford Center
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. – With the long awaited new album NightCastle on the verge of being released, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO), one of rock music's biggest arena attractions will once again rock FordCenter with two shows on December 20th at 3:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
Begin with the theatrical appeal of the Phantom of the Opera and the rock opera storytelling of The Who's Tommy and Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar. Then add Romantic Era classical melodies a la Mozart and Strauss, the progressive classical/rock fusion of bands like Queen and Yes, the metal edge of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin and dustings of musical spices that range from Gospel to Celtic to Motown to Jazz. Have these varied musical ingredients brought to life in the most powerful way possible - by a 60-piece ensemble that marries a full orchestra, a full rock band with a dozen lead singers, virtuosos whose credentials include stints with wide ranging star attractions like rocker Alice Cooper, R&B legends Kool and the Gang and Broadway stage hits like Les Miserables.
Complement this massive sonic recipe with staging that is always one step beyond state-of-the-art, a sensory onslaught of lighting and pyrotechnics. And lastly, defy the laws of inflation by having a modest entry price - so rock-loving parents can take along their rock-loving children, and maybe even their own parents, to comprise the most cross-generational/cross-genre audience in the rock concert business.
When you consider the above, it's no wonder that the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "symphonic rock" experience is one of the nation's hottest tours.
"When I started the band, I wanted to take the very best of all the forms of music I grew up on and merge them into a new style," said Paul O’Neill, producer/composer/lyricist from TSO. "I wanted a full hard rock band and a full orchestra and I wanted multiple lead singers, each with a different strength - a super group that could be able to go anywhere musically and vocally. Creating contrasting musical moods to move listeners emotionally as we tell a story – that's the whole M.O. of TSO."
