MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS Adds Second Performance

By popular demand, a second Mannheim Steamroller Christmas performance has been added to the Kansas City engagement. Tickets for the newly added 3:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, November 24 will go on sale to the public Friday, September 13 at 10 a.m. Tickets are available through the Kauffman Center Box Office at (816) 994-7222 or online at kauffmancenter.org.

"I remember when I came out with my first Christmas album in 1984 followed by our first tour. Back then, many in the music industry said focusing on Christmas just wouldn't work," said founder Chip Davis. "Now, 35 years later, we are still going strong. I want to thank our fans for making us part of their holiday tradition. Today, we often see multi-generational families join us during the holidays each year."

Davis founded his own record label, American Gramaphone, which went on to become one of the industry's largest independent record labels. A GRAMMY Award-winner, 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 the original classic Christmas hits from the first Mannheim Steamroller Christmas along with multimedia effects in an intimate setting. Davis will direct and co-produce tour performances with MagicSpace Entertainment.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis is co-produced by MagicSpace Entertainment. The company is headed by Lee D. Marshall, Joe Marsh, John Ballard, and Steve Boulay and has been producing and presenting national tours, Broadway shows, concerts and museum exhibits worldwide for more than 35 years. They have an office in Park City, UT.
