Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts & Culture presents Transcendental Light Orchestra performing a live music concert in our Ballroom Back Room on December 14th, 2024, at 7pm.

Transcendental Light Orchestra (TLO), led by James Bazen, brings together a diverse group
of musicians to create a multi-layered sound from eclectic influences. Bazen’s instrumental arrangements and orchestrations of Christmas airs and dances transcend the traditional meaning of the melodies and give them a more universal appeal.

TLO combines Baroque guitar and recorder, jazz improvisation, Brazilian bossa, and lots of electric guitar shredding. All seamlessly intertwined to create a magical, mystical, musical journey.

Tickets $15 in advance ($20 at the door).
