The holidays have a knack for winnowing wheat from chaff so that “It”™s a Wonderful Life” remains, but “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” has faded.
Mannheim Steamroller is at the top of the list of holiday winners with staying power.
“Mannheim Steamroller Christmas” comes to the Palace Theatre in Stamford on Thursday at 8 p.m.
According to the Palace, “Mannheim Steamroller Christmas merges traditional Christmas music with a modern sound along with dazzling multi-media effects to create a stunning visual and audio experience.”
Despite its Euro-sounding name, the band is American and has sold 28 million albums in the U.S.
WSHU Public Radio in Fairfield is the sponsor. The website for more information is Palacestamford.org.
