PAC hosts Mannheim Steamroller
Mannheim Steamroller will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its annual Christmas concert tour, the longest running consecutive concert tour in the entertainment industry.
Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, will celebrate the 35th anniversary of his annual Christmas concert tour, making it the longest running consecutive concert tour in the entertainment industry, with two performances at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University Tuscarawas on Dec. 18 at 4 and 8 p.m.
Attendees can experience the performance of the number-one Christmas music artist in history, and for the first time, attendees can hear the entire album that started it all, live, “Mannheim Steamroller Christmas!”
“Mannheim Steamroller has become something of a tradition at the Performing Arts Center,” said David Mitchell, general manager. “We’re thrilled that their 35th anniversary coincides with our 10th season as we continue our tradition of providing exceptional entertainment to the region.”
Mannheim Steamroller has sold more than 40 million albums with 29 million in the Christmas genre. Their holiday CDs have become synonymous with Christmas and occupy top positions on Billboard’s Seasonal Chart every year.
This year’s show will feature classic Christmas hits from the first Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album, along with multi-media effects in an intimate setting. Davis will direct and co-produce tour performances with MagicSpace Entertainment.
