Christmas Jazz with Marcus Johnson, Dumbarton Concerts

The multi-talented Marcus Johnson and his band bring essential jazz excellence with a warm and exciting program of classic jazz for the Christmas season. Marcus’s talent and grit have led him to meteoric success in the jazz charts, with 15 Billboard-charted albums since 1997. After years of sold-out shows at other Washington jazz institutions, the Marcus Johnson experience finally ascends the Dumbarton stage. In the words of Marcus himself, let yourself be guided on the “journey through which we discover those things in life that fulfill us and make each experience a little better.”
