Pittsburgh, PA, USA- A chill in the air welcomed the patrons of the Benedum Theater for the Performing Arts as they made their way in for a night of the sounds of the holiday season. MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER played to an incredible audience in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The thing that makes Mannheim Steamroller special is the audience members. This makes the heart happy, sharing memories of traditions with others is what makes the most beautiful new memories. The Benedum Theater is known throughout the world for its gorgeous chandeliers, which are huge and lovely. There are actual tours of the theater when the chandeliers are being cleaned, and people show up from all over to watch. The Benedum Theater is home to the Pittsburgh Ballet performances, but tonight it is all about the sounds of the holiday season from MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER.
