From a local publication, "Daybreak:"

So, what do you do when the audience files in, sits down, and the instruments start...melting? Originally an ice sculptor, Tim Linhart moved from Colorado to Europe decades ago, entranced by making musical instruments out of ice. Since then he's carved hundreds of them, created 19 ice orchestras, and built 11 igloo-style ice music concert halls. He also founded Ice Music, based in Luleå, in Swedish Lapland. Violins, xylophones, cellos, guitars... Here's a video on how he makes them, how they sound and look, and how to deal when strings sag and xylophone keys melt...

Extraordinary!

Marsha, that was fascinating, and beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I am going to pass it onto Facebook, where people could use some positivity.

Diana,

I enjoyed it too. We have to give credit to Jo, however, for the original post.

Thanks, Marsha.  And I got it both from Rob, of Daybreak, and from Kathy, who posted his link to the NH Nordic Skating List.  So if you're someone out there who hasn't seen it yet, there's a reason it's being passed around so much...   :)       Jo
