ABSTRACT
In a mode of amazement and anticipation I walk in the dark night along a snow path guided by candle lights behind beautifully designed ice blocks. I walk towards a huge snow structure shaped as a double-dome pile of snow. In itself not sensational, but now in the cold of subarctic northern Sweden, magically illuminated by a full moon above us, this snow-pile grows into a mystic world of the arctic. I open the wooden door and enter a strange magic world of snow and ice in different colourations of blue, turquoise and green, and I know I'm part of a very special cultural experience – a music concert on ice instruments in an ice dome concert hall! And when the ice-music begins we all know we are part of a very unique historical experience. It fills my heart with joy and excitement that our little township of Piteå in peripheral northern Europe has realized an artist's dream with this ice construction and unique concert. But how could Piteå end up having such an extraordinary experience production?
