Renowned saxophonist, composer and bandleader Paul Winter, llong known for his pioneering fusion of jazz, world music, and natural sounds of the Earth, returns to New York City in December for his latest offering in the over 30-year tradition of Winter Solstice Celebrations at the Cathedral of St. John, December 15, 16 & 17. The performances offer a cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary theatrical spectacle featuring more than thirty performers.
