“Sting – A Winter’s Night” premieres Thanksgiving Thursday, November 26 at 10 p.m. on Great Performances

Rock and pop superstar Sting welcomes the holidays with an atmospheric musical celebration of wintertime — days of solitude and reflection, as well as rebirth and festivity. Recorded at the magnificent Durham Cathedral near his hometown of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in northern England, this program conjures the moods and spirits of the season with a diverse collection of songs, carols and lullabies spanning the centuries. Also featured are some new songs, as well as Sting’s interpretation of classical favorites.
