Al Pitrelli of Trans-Siberian Orchestra Excited TSO is Returning to El Paso

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is bringing its massive sound, light, and stage show to the Don Haskins Center for two performances on Wednesday, December 4, 2019.

Guitarist, music director, and original member Al Pitrelli spoke with Mike & Tricia Mornings about the band’s return to El Paso, what fans can look forward to from this year’s epic tour, and how being a father of a 3-year-old at age 57 keeps him tour-ready.

TSO will be performing their classic debut album "Christmas Eve & Other Stories" for the first time since 2011 and will feature all new staging, lighting, and production as well as fan-favorites “Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24,” and “Ornament” and the epic “Old City Bar,” both of which have not been performed live in recent years.
