Paul Winter’s 40th Annual Winter Solstice Celebration Reviews & Ratings

We loved it. The music was wonderful and the setting within the cathedral combined with fabulous lighting effects made for a spectacle of huge proportions. This show has been a holiday tradition in New York for decades would highly recommend.

Very unexpected and a joyful evening

I've been wanting to see this for years and loved it.

Eclectic, new age, and spiritual.
It leaves an impression on you, even the cavernous venue is a sight to behold.
Combined with the effects of the stage,music, and performance.

This was my first time to the Winter Solstice. It was unbelievable! No words to explain. Mystical, spectacular, unique - a must see!

Magnificent from beginning to end!! I definitely want to return in June for the Summer Solstice and/or Winter Solstice 2019. The soloist Theresa Thomason was absolutely amazing and the high energy from Forces of Nature Dance Theatre was nothing...continued

Fantastic

This was a phenomenal experience. Highly highly recommend. So beautiful.

This space is so special, and the nature of the performances really took advantage of the acoustics. Beautiful event.

This event was unimaginable, the sounds, the
space, it was an event to remember for the rest of my life!

Incredibly entertaining and rousing. Had no idea it would be so moving. The accompanying 'Forces of Nature Dance Theater' performed African dances to driving drum rhythms. Cello soloist Eugene Friesen was a revelation!

The music was too generic, pretentious, even boring: not classic, not jazz, something that might be qualified as music from the earth. The musicians were good, but the result was not remarkable at all. The dancers were mediocre. Their movements...continued

I thought the performance was excellent. My main concern & request for future performances is to make the stage higher. Since there isn’t stadium seating, most of us could only listen to the performance & not see it. This was especially...continued

A wonderful celebration of the season! The beautiful music reverberating through the magnificent cathedral was sublime!

I should have read the bulletin explaining the symbols beforehand. After I did, I got it, though I thought I got it before. At the conclusion, my friends and I got up to leave. Fortunate for us, we would have missed the projection of the earth...continued

The experience was one I will always remember, imaginative and moving. The musicians and dancers were outstanding. No one in NY should miss this.

The venue was beautiful.
