    Paul Winter has been joined by an array of outstanding musicians from different musical backgrounds for a festival of the Earth's musics during the twenty-seven years of his winter Solstice Celebration (celebrating the return of the sun after the longest night in December) and the twelve years of his summer Solstice Celebration (greeting the summer and the dawning of the longest day in June).

    For Paul Winter, 'Earth Music' celebrates the creatures and cultures of the whole earth, and this is the spirit of his annual solstice celebrations.

    There will be one dawn concert featuring Tibetan singer Yangjin Lamu at 4.30AM on June 21 2008 in New York City's Cathedral of St. John the Divine. General admission tickets priced $35 are on sale now from:

    For twelve years, Winter has gathered musicians from around the world in the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York to create inspired, spontaneous music at the spiritually charged moment of the summer solstice.

    This year, renowned young Tibetan singer Yangjin Lamu will be featured in Paul Winter's 13th Annual Summer Solstice Celebration, on June 21, 2008, at New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

    Yangjin grew up in the nomadic and farming region in the far north of Tibet. Her singing has led her to wide acclaim in Tibet, China and Taiwan. Paul Winter met her in his recent travels, and invited her to New York for the Summer Solstice Celebration. This will be Yangjin's first performance in America.

    Other musicians joining Paul Winter Consort in welcoming the dawning of summer in this acoustic feast will include:
  • Eugene Friesen - cello
  • Steve Gorn - bansuri (India)
  • Jerry O'Sullivan - Uilleann pipes (Ireland)
  • Café - percussion (Brazil)
  • Peter May - conch shells
  • Tim Brumfield - pipe organ.

    The Summer Solstice Celebration will take place at 4:30 am on Saturday morning, June 21, 2008. There will be one performance only. General admission tickets priced $35 are on sale now from:
