Voice-over by Jonathan Roumie, best known for his roles in THE CHOSEN and SOLO MIO. Roumie states, “As a born-and-raised New Yorker, St. Patrick’s Cathedral has always been a hallowed icon of faith, architecture, and New York itself. Amidst the noisy grind of the city that refuses to sleep, one can find stillness, beauty, and peace among its graceful Gothic arches. I’m honored to lend my voice to LUMINISCENCE and help share the story of this extraordinary cathedral."

- The event was awesome and beautiful, only thing is we got there early like the tickets stated but they were seating from the back forward so ticket holders that came in later were seated to the front closest to the orquestra. Just an observation.
