Concert Report: Mannheim Steamroller I was lucky enough to attend the concert of the music concert of the Mannheim Steamroller, which in my mind blew me away with its interesting and innovative way to include Christmas Music and Other genre of music. This production was extra special because it was the 25th anniversary for this historic performance. The composer, Chip Davis, whom has won a Grammy Award for his work, created a show that featured the great and talented music of the Mannheim Steamroller and included state of the art effects and visuals. It was truly a breathe taking performance. It was also a performance I would most likely come to again if it comes around soon or is around where I live. The music for the concert by Mannheim Steamroller was very delightful, and showed great display of all the instruments. I enjoyed the concert with great enthusiasm because previously before attending the concert I had never heard such music. After listening to a few songs, I turned to my buddy who came with me and said this music is new to me and that is why I was enjoying it so much. If I had to relate a chapter from our book or lessons into the music from the concert, I would say it would fit into the classical category. It was fun to listen to music that I currently do not listen to very often. If I had to relate this to my history 203 class I would say you would most likely here this in the classical era. Which was a considerably long time ago, rather than most music around today? This concert was great and I would suggest this to anyone, not just people who are fans of the type of music. It was very fulfilling and had me standing at the end of the performance clapping in respect. I was very pleased, and hope they soon come back to EKU’s Center for the Arts so I can see them again. I would rate this all –around experience an 9/10, which means it was great.
