Experience the magic as the spirit of the season comes alive with the signature sound of Mannheim Steamroller. Their holiday CDs have become synonymous with Christmas and continue to occupy top spots on Billboard’s Seasonal Charts every year!

More than 30 years ago, Davis transformed popular instrumental music by combining classical compositions, rock rhythms, harpsichords and recorders with electric bass and synthesizers, which he dubbed “18th Century Classical Rock.” He is credited with creating the New Age music genre and went on to revolutionize the sounds of Christmas,

transforming the holiday music season into the huge industry it is today.Davis recorded his first album, Fresh Aire, in 1974 and released it under the name Mannheim Steamroller. The name reflected an early German orchestra known for building intensity by adding musical layers of sound, color, texture, and volume. The technique was designed to “flatten” the listener, so Davis jokingly referred to it as “The Steamroller”.While the music industry responded favorably to the album, no record label would take it because of its unique style. So Davis formed his own label, American Gramophone, which went on to become one of the most successful independent music franchises.In 1984 when he decided to create his first Christmas album, everything exploded. During that period, Christmas music wasn’t popular; he was told that Christmas albums were generally the last stop for an artist before the end of a career. But he went ahead and released Mannheim Steamroller Christmas on his own and millions of copies flew off the shelves. Davis had changed the sounds of Christmas forever.Today with 19 gold, 8 multi-platinum and 4 platinum certified records, Chip is among an elite group of artists including U2, Jay Z and The Beach Boys with the most certifications among all recording artists. His annual tour, “Mannheim Steamroller Christmas,” is in its 32nd year and still playing to sold-out audiences. The concerts have become a family tradition, drawing grandparents through grandchildren.

All told, Davis has created a remarkably varied body of work: he has written, arranged and recorded over 35 albums, including eight in the Fresh Aire series; 18 Christmas albums and four Halloween albums. He is the author of five children’s books and has an entire line of food and bath products bearing the Mannheim Steamroller name.Davis has a patent-pending music therapy system which is used in medical facilities at Mayo Clinic. The system is also installed in the National Intrepid Center where soldiers with traumatic brain injuries are treated. His work with NASA includes recording shuttle launch and landings that have been characterized as “the most accurate ever made.”Davis has three children. He lives on a 150-acre farm in Omaha, Nebraska, along with a number of horses and two timber wolves.

Danú ProGram noteS

The Wexford Carol This very old Christmas carol has been a favorite in Ireland for many years. It is in English and the song tells us about the holy story.

Miss Fogarty’s Christmas Cake This is a very funny song all about the traditional Irish Christmas cake. The Christmas cake is the centerpiece to every Irish gathering at this time of year. Danú encourages everybody to join in on the funny chorus to this song:

There were plums and prunes and cherries,There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, tooThere was nutmeg, cloves and berriesAnd a crust that was nailed on with glueThere were caraway seeds in abundanceSuch that work up a fine stomachacheThat could kill a man twice after eating a sliceOf Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake.

Oiche Chíuín/Silent NightSilent Night is a song that is known the world over. We perform it as "Oiche Chiuin" in the Irish Language and follow it into the English version where we encourage everybody to join in and sing along with us.

Christmas Eve ReelThis is probably the best-known Christmas tune in Ireland. It would not be Christmas time for Irish musicians without "Christmas Eve" the reel.

The Holly it bears a BerryThe Holly it bears a Berry is a lovely Christmas carol which comes from Ireland’s Celtic neighbours in Cornwall and has been performed by many great Irish singers over the years. Danú encourages everybody to join in on the beautiful chorus:

And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, And the first tree that's in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly! Holly! And the first tree that's in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Slide/Reel SetThis new instrumental piece by Danú is a lively set of dance tunes featuring some Slides from County Kerry and reels from County Donegal. A great set to dance or clap along to!

Polka SelectionIrish polkas are mostly associated with the Munster region in Southern Ireland. The Polka Set is a very well known dance that happens in Ireland when a group of musicians and dancers meet up.

The Parting GlassThis is one of Ireland’s greatest farewell songs and is always sung at the end of the evening.

I went to Much Ado About Nothing with a client who is very fearful, does not easily smile ... (she is 20 years old with intellectual disability, but knows that she is different and hates that). I never dreamed her response to the play would be so positive! Thank you so much for the complimentary tickets. I never fail to be amazed at the power of theater and art to heal wounded souls.

Playing His PartResearch & Development Scientist Josh Katzenstein realizes that making our community a better place to live takes more than continuous innovation at work every day. It requires finding imaginative ways to play his part and give back to the community. In theaters all across the Great Lakes Bay Region, he steps away from his world of science and transports others to a world of wonder. Whether it involves the stage in a theater or the stage of a microscope, Josh performs.

The Human Element At Work.
