In fact the city that never sleeps embraces it by reveling in special events, which makes visiting the Big Apple worthwhile any time of the year. If you are planning a New York City Tour, get ready for some winter merriment.
Winter Solstice At Saint John the Divine
In honor of the Winter Solstice, which marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year, experience an unforgettable musical celebration in the world’s largest cathedral – Saint John the Divine by the world renowned saxophonist Paul Winter, accompanied by brilliant song and dance performances by Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble and Forces of Nature. The melodious depiction of Solstice, a Latin phrase for “the sun standing still”, is magical and soulful. The avowal of this nature’s turning point when sun reaches its southernmost point and pauses for a while, making it the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, seems extraordinary amidst the acoustic spaces and the embracing vastness of this beautiful cathedral.
