Mannheim Steamroller plays its Christmas classics with 15 musicians and multimedia effects at Clowes Memorial Hall.
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas comes to Clowes Memorial Hall on Wednesday, December 9, at 7:30 PM. The show is built around the work of composer Chip Davis, whose holiday arrangements have been a part of American Christmas traditions for more than 40 years.
On stage, the ensemble plays through the Christmas classics that have defined the Mannheim sound. It's a large group—15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments—so the sound is full and layered. The music runs against a backdrop of multimedia effects, which the production describes as a way to capture the spirit of the season in a setting that's at once immersive and intimate.
If you've heard the recordings over the years, this is the live version of that. The ensemble gathers the holiday classics played in the same distinctive style you'd recognize from the albums, with the 15 musicians and the multimedia elements working together rather than as separate parts. It's a full-ensemble performance, not a small group, and the multimedia is built into the show from the start.
