One of the world’s most revered saxophonists will be making Yuletide bright this holiday season, as multi-million selling instrumentalist Kenny G performs at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts this November. On this highly-anticipated holiday tour, Kenny G will perform some of his greatest hits, including songs from his 1994 smash album Miracles: The Holiday Album, which ranks as one of the most successful holiday albums ever – with over eight million copies sold. The performance will be on The Washington Center’s main stage November 29, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.
“Performing the classic holiday songs is such a pleasure for me and the band,” said Kenny. “I’m asked year round to play songs from my Miracles Holiday album and even in July we sometimes throw in a classic holiday song. We can’t wait to get on the road in November to bring the sound of the holiday season to our wonderful fans. We hope everyone will come out and join us to celebrate.”
It’s been 25 years since Kenny G, the most celebrated instrumental musician, debuted the Grammy Award winning album Breathless, selling over 12 million copies in the United States alone. The saxophonist is the biggest-selling musician of the modern Jazz era, with worldwide sales of more than seventy-five million records. Dating back to his self-titled debut album in 1982, he has released eighteen studio albums – the most recent being 2015’s Brazilian Nights, which topped the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. He has charted twenty-two albums (including Holiday albums and Greatest Hits collaborations) on the Billboard 200 – including seven in the Top 10.
