Sapsis Rigging Reaches Milestone at St. John's Cathedral
For the 20 consecutive year, Sapsis Rigging has provided production services to The Paul Winter Consort for their Winter Solstice concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
Mike Sapsis, head of rigging for the production said: "I never get tired of doing this show. The band is great to work with and the Cathedral is a terrific place to do a show, especially now that the renovations and repairs from the 2001 fire are complete. The original Cathedral designers and engineers obviously didn't plan for performances like this, and rigging in this space is challenging."
One of the effects during the concert is to fly a musician about 70 feet up where he plays an eight foot diameter tam. The musician is Scott "Gong Guy" Sloan who is also a rigger for Sapsis Rigging, Inc. During the show he really gets going on that tam.
