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.

It was our first time to see Mannheim Steamroller in concert. We were very impressed. Great family event!
Mannheim at Christmas....awesome! They sound better than ever.
As always Mannheim Steamroller delivers a stellar performance.
I don't go to many concerts, but Mannheim Steamroller put on one of the best I've seen. Aside from the fantastic performances by the musicians (we saw the Red Tour Cast), the lighting and background videos just made the concert all the more memorable. I would go 8 nights a week, if possible. The musicians were unbelievable! Thank you so much for a spectacular show!
It was two hours long but seemed much shorter. I can’t wait to go again next year. It was beautiful and I loved ever moment.
The concert was very good. We really enjoyed our date night.
Tickets were easy to get. Seats were better than expected and the entire night was a beautiful experience!
My wife loves Manheim Steamroller, so I surprised her with floor seats. She said it couldn't have been better. I agree. It was a lot of fun.
Amazing. Loved the backgrounds that went with the songs. I hadn't been to a Mannheim steamroller concert in many years. This was just spectacular.
Every year my wife and try to see Mannheim Steamroller. They always put on a wonderful show! By far, they are our favorite group to see, especially at Christmastime. Always a 5-Star performance!
We needed help w our Christmas spirit. This was it. We got lost in the music and the video show was so beautiful. Beautiful music! Tis the season!
Talent was awesome, acoustics were excellent, historical scenes were wonderful, visual effects on backdrops were spectacular!
Great music. Was a lovely way to end the Christmas season.
The Mannheim Steamroller concert was spectacular!! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together during this very memorable experience! The musicians were excellent, and the lights and videos were great additions! We so enjoyed this amazing Christmas show!!
Mannheim Steamroller live makes all of the misic come alive. The concert was wonderful...
Mannheim Steamroller was a sad reflection of what was once (I'm assuming) was a good program. Most products from the 80's and 90's have improved, this show is frozen in time and not in a good way. We walked out from our front seating when the 4th song started, it was not going to get any better. Save your time and money by missing this event.
An absolutely beautiful concert!! The music, the visuals, and the lighting were all perfect. We were so lucky to have been able to experience the concert! The one drawback was a security guard kept coming around our section of seats telling people that they could not record the concert with their cell phones. I didn’t see anywhere that recording was prohibited.
The concert was excellent. This theater is the perfect place to see your favorite entertainment.
My husband and I have several Christmas cds of Mannheim Steamroller and have always enjoyed them. The live experience in historic Tennessee Theater was even better! The acoustics, lights, volume, costumes, and the screens behind were perfection! The musicians and technicians were outstanding. Highly recommend this show for its beauty and for being a memorable Christmas experience. We will come again!
Having always enjoyed the music of Manheim Steamroller it was a great time of the year to finally get to see them in person. We absolutely had a wonderful evening at the performance. The music along with the stage presence and the special features made this event well worth the drive from the Champaign area to Peoria. We would strongly recommend that you attend a Manheim Steamroller event in your area.
