Terje Isungset Ice Quartet
Prepare to be transported by the extraordinary, beautiful and ethereal sounds of ice.
The ice music pioneer, Terje Isungset, returns to the UK with his quartet, featuring voice, ice harp, ice horn, iceophone, ice percussion and ice bass.
This ice concert is a tribute to the most important thing in the whole world – nature. It is based on music from Terje’s albums, ‘Winter Songs’ and ‘Beauty of Winter’, alongside new material from their ‘Ice Quartet’ album, released in November 2024.
The instruments are made during Terje’s annual Ice Music Festival in Norway. They are carved and crafted using only natural frozen ice from the lakes.

About Terje Isungset
Terje Isungset’s work is visual, energetic and unique. He is an internationally acclaimed drummer and composer. Since the late 1980’s, he has combined natural elements in his music through the use of wood, stones, metal and other natural materials. In 1999, Terje was commissioned to write music for a concert under a frozen waterfall at Lillehammer, Norway. He decided to use elements from the river itself as musical instruments in his composition; stones, wood and finally – ice. Terje explains, ‘I took the sound from underneath the waterfall, and then I hit the ice. I thought it was so beautiful. It was like falling in love.’
Discovering the sounds of natural ice opened up a whole new range of sonic possibilities for Terje, his ice journey had begun. Since then he has toured world-wide with his unique concept and, since 2006, run his world famous Ice Music Festival in Norway. Terje released the world’s first Ice Music album in 2000, and has since released 10 more.
