Paul Winter's 29th Annual Summer Solstice Celebration

The Cathedral Church Of St. John The Divine
Cathedral Church of Saint John The Divine
1047 Amsterdam Avenue at 112th Street
Artist in Residence Paul Winter and the Paul Winter Consort return to celebrate the longest day of the year at the Cathedral.
The Consort will be premiering a new musical journey, entitled Adventures in the Universe, inspired by composer Charles Ives’ aural vision of a “Universe Symphony”, a work that Ives never realized, but which he encouraged future musicians to explore. Our aspiration is to use the extraordinary acoustics and space of the Cathedral to create a soundscape which might awaken in the imaginations of listeners some sense of the vastness of space and time in the universe.
