In a giant city with many holiday events, the musical, theatrical and environmental spectacle of Paul Winter's Winter Solstice Celebrations, celebrating the return of the sun after the longest night of the year, attracts thousands of concert-goers to New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine and tens of thousands of radio-listeners via the NPR broadcast of the show.
Paul Winter's Winter
Solstice Celebration, which celebrates its 33rd Anniversary

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.
