A Mad Russian’s Christmas

As performed in the fabulous Trans-Siberian Orchestra live concert, experience Trepak from The Nutcracker as you never have before. Though greatly enhanced by adding a rhythm section, the piece can be played by strings alone. An optional electric violin part provides the perfect spot to feature an electric instrument. If you haven’t seen TSO, check them out online and then share this one with your students. Perhaps include a field trip to see the band live with lights and effects.
