Terje Isungset and Ice Music in Canada - Winnipeg New Music Festival - WSO.

The concerts at The Forks was a great success. 
Thanks a lot to all people helping with the ice! Especially Peter and Luca.
And what an audiences that could stay out in the cold for more than one hour.
We had 27 below celsius on the Friday show, and 30 on the Saturday!
The good thing about this is that the ice sounded amazing.
Also thanks to the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra for inviting us to their festival.
