ICE plays its debut at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN! Declared “one of the most quietly earth-shattering, subtly luminous festivals the world over” by The Oxford American Magazine, Big Ears Festival is a dynamic, interactive experience that explores connections between musicians and artists, crossing all musical genres while interfacing with film, performance and the visual arts.
ICE brings a program of our favorite collaborating composers, with Anna Thorvaldsdóttir's In the Light of Air as a major attraction.
