MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER: CHRISTMAS IN CONCERT:
Mannheim Steamroller have been innovators of the neo-classical genre for over 40 years, blending the finest orchestral sections with electronic elements and a hint of rock to arrive at their remarkably unique sound. Not only are their live performances sonically robust, but they're visually stimulating as well, featuring an incredible light show and illustrations that dance across giant projection screens. Whether they're playing originals like "Catching Snowflakes on Your Tongue" or classics like "Joy to the World," Mannheim Steamroller will have fans in the holiday spirit this season on their 2014 Christmas tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Mannheim Steamroller is the alias of composer Chip Davis, who created the moniker from "Mannheim roller", a musical technique that was popular in Germany during the 1700s. Davis initially sought a record label to release his music, but the lack of interest led to the creation of his own label American Gramophone for his 1975 debut album Fresh Aire. He went on to release seven more albums in the Fresh Aire series, six of which were certified gold by the RIAA. His biggest success, however, came in 1984 with the release of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, a massive hit and enduring classic of contemporary holiday music. Since then, his Christmas catalog has grown to include thirteen records, containing some of Steamroller's biggest hits and holding the distinction of being some of the most requested Christmas music of all time. With more than 28 million albums sold in the US, Mannheim Steamroller will carry their musical enthusiasm with them throughout their 2014 shows.

The concert was absolutely fantastic. Music hall's acoustics excellent.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
by Slinque on 11/28/10Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts - New OrleansRating: 5 out of 5My husband and I have been wanting to attend a Mannheim concert for some time, but this was the first year we have been able to go. Our expectations were more than met. This group is incredible! The videos were entertaining, but our favorite was just watching the musicians perform, making it look fun and easy! WOW! The musicians were so versatile, several being accomplished on numerous instruments. What a treat for this holiday season. We WILL return.
Techno Wonderful
by fds002 on 11/28/10Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts - New OrleansRating: 4 out of 5I have followed the Teamroller for years and this is my first concert. Well Done! It was a wonderful evening of Holiday Music. The CD has been played constantly since we got home.
Best Christmas Concert Ever
by BCavalierL on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 5 out of 5We have their CD'sand we've seen them on television but seeing Mannheim Steamroller live was absolutely awesome. Before the concert started my daughter read the program and asked, "only 6 members?". It is unbelievable the music that these musicians and a 9 piece orchestra create. We normally go to the Nutcracker ballet at this time of the year but I am so glad we decided to try something different. I sure hope they return to Louisiana again next year.
the songs were classic Manhiem Steamroller
by BobPill on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 5 out of 5the concert was great and unforgettable. The music was superb and the mixing was perfect with enough volume to fill the auditorium with out damaging the hearing.......
Uplifting and Fun
by Rubye on 11/28/10Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts - New OrleansRating: 5 out of 5I was the fan of this music but talked my husband into going with me to New Orleans. He thoroughly enjoyed the show himself, as did I. I loved seeing how their unique style of music was made and learning more about the group. It turned out to be a great trip for us.
Excellent show
by RollerFan on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 4 out of 5These guys were great. Sounded just like the C.D.s we've been buying for years.
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas
by ARKK on 11/28/10Pensacola Saenger Theatre - PensacolaRating: 5 out of 5The show was beyond words. A outstanding performance. The group was right on and so sync'd it was scarey. They kept you on the edge of your chair. We have all the Steamroller CD's and have followed since their inception. You always have a view of what they are like while the CD is playing, but actually being there for the first time was just awesome and beyond any comprehension. Just a great performance that has put us in the mood for Christmas. A very Merry Christmas to the entire Mannheim Steamroller production and the best to Chip, wish you could have been there, you would have been very proud of this group.
Very Enjoyable for all ages.
by Fair1fan on 11/28/10Pensacola Saenger Theatre - PensacolaRating: 4 out of 5I took my 81 year old Mom and we really enjoyed the performance and the energy of the audience.

The visuals that went with the music were horrible, very disjointed.
Always dynamic
by Anonymous on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 4 out of 5Wonderful show. Cost was a bit high considering. Add-on costs extreme.
Live Performance measures up
by Anonymous on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 5 out of 5The live performance was as strong and powerful as the recorded versions. I felt enveloped by the music and filled with joy at the celebration. I will definitely get tickets again.
Mannheim Steamroller was awesome
by Kneeboard2 on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 5 out of 5Mannheim lived up to it's billing and my expectations.
Mannheim Steamroller was amaaaaaaaaaazing!
by Andrea70503 on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 5 out of 5I've never seen them live before, but love their music. The show surpassed anything I could imagine. The only things that was distracting was the woman sitting behind us that wouldn't stop talking throughout the performance. How rude!
25th Anniversary Tour
by Anonymous on 11/28/10Heymann Performing Arts Center - LafayetteRating: 2 out of 5The concert was very good but the seats are too small and close together. No leg room, not even for a smaller, petite person. We were looking forward to leaving from being so uncomfortable at the center. Not as focused on Christmas as much as I would have liked.
A Family Tradition
by Jobu1972 on 11/28/10Mississippi Coliseum - JacksonRating: 5 out of 5Went with my parents who are seniors, my wife, and children (ages 8 and 10). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! The sets were well paced, and the screens and lights complimented the music rather than distracting from it. The musicians were fully entertaining in their interaction with the audience and each other. If you and you family ever get the opportunity to experience Mannheim Steamroller's live Christmas, it is well worth the time and money!
