    Paul Winter's Winter Solstice Celebration, which celebrates its 29th Anniversary this December 2008, began as a Holiday alternative and still remains true to its world-embracing roots. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine's most popular annual secular event, it now firmly take its place among the great, durable Holiday traditions of New York and National Public Radio.

    Join us at the 29th Annual Winter Solstice Celebration in New York City on 18, 19 and 20 December 2008, or listen to the 29th Annual Celebration

    A highlight of this year's Solstice events will be the return to the full space of the Cathedral, after the past several years of having only part of it available for the consort's various presentations. The stunning, fully-renovated interior of the Cathedral will be featured in these celebrations, as well as the newly restored great Aeolian-Skinner Pipe Organ, being played for the first time since the fire in the Cathedral seven years ago.

    SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION

    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, 2009, 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, 2009. There will be one performance only. General admission tickets priced $35 are on sale now from:
