Tõnu Kõrvits

Estonian composer in the neo-romantic style, whose prolific work since the 1990s has encompassed all traditional genres, ranging from orchestral music to instrumental ensembles and works for solo instruments, including choral music, melodies and operas

Poetic and mystical, his music is made of seductive melodies and subtle harmonic colors, aiming to resonate with the human soul and the subconscious

He devotes himself intensely to vocal and choral music, while drawing inspiration from traditional Estonian and Nordic cultures and their mythological dimension (Songs from Thule), seen as an inexhaustible source of inspiration

Cultural Prize of the Republic of Estonia (2011) and "Choral Composer of the Year" award from the Estonian Choral Association (2014)
