Mannheim Steamroller Returns to Wharton Center
The performance is on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 7:30PM.
Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, celebrates 40 Years of his annual Christmas concert tour, making it the longest-running concert tour in the entertainment industry. Mannheim Steamroller returns to Wharton Center’s Cobb Great Hall on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 7:30PM.
“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 Davis.
“Now, 40 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 41 million albums, with over 31.5 million in the Christmas genre. Their holiday CD’s have become synonymous with Christmas and occupy top positions on Billboard’s Seasonal Chart every year.
MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS by Chip Davis has been America’s favorite holiday tradition for 40 years! Grammy Award winner Chip Davis has created a show that features Mannheim Steamroller Christmas classics in the distinctive Mannheim sound.
This year’s show will feature classic Christmas hits from the Mannheim Steamroller holiday albums, along with multimedia effects in an intimate setting, including 15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments against a backdrop of dazzling multimedia effects—capturing the spirit of the season in an immersive yet intimate setting. Davis will direct and co-produce Tour performances with MagicSpace Entertainment.
