Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Trans-Siberian Orchestra was formed in 1996 by producer and composer Paul O’Neill, who brought together longtime collaborators Robert Kinkel, Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli as its core writing team. His vision combined progressive rock, classical music and theatrical storytelling into an ambitious new concert experience. Beginning with Christmas Eve and Other Stories, TSO built a catalog of rock operas and an annual arena tradition known for music, narration, lights, lasers and pyrotechnics. O’Neill’s artistic vision continues through his family, longtime collaborators and the musicians who carry the production forward.
