“Mannheim Steamroller — it’s not just for Christmas anymore.”
— Billboard
Treat your ears to the innovative arrangements and groundbreaking music of Mannheim Steamroller. This performance features lavish multi-media images, synchronized lighting, and special effects.
Mannheim Steamroller debuted the first “Fresh Aire” album in 1974; called a “revolutionary achievement” that is an inventive blend of classical themes with pop elements. Composer Chip Davis dubbed it “18th Century Rock-n-Roll.” Over the next three decades, the Fresh Aire series grew to include eight albums, each of which explore topics–from magnificence of the four seasons, to man’s curiosities about the world in which we live.
Since it began touring 20 years ago — proving it’s definitely not just a studio band —Mannheim Steamroller has thrilled millions of fans the world over with its live performances.
Chip Davis does not plan to appear with the band for this engagement.
