A Winter’s Tale

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
New Age maestro Paul Winter joins us in the studio on the eve of his twenty-fifth annual Winter Solstice celebration. Held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the evening brings together jazz fusion with back-to-the-earth spiritualism that should stir even the most jaded soul. If that doesn’t, surely the effects will (a spinning Christmas tree, a gong player perched high in the air, a free-floating globe). Also visiting the studio will be Linda and Michael Hutcheon, to discuss their new book Opera: The Art of Dying.
