TÕNU KÕRVITS (1969) graduated from Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (1994, composition with Raimo Kangro). His work spans both chamber and symphonic genres, contains incidental music for puppet animations and cartoons, plus arrangements and orchestrations of popular music. Music of Tõnu Kõrvits is filled with highly poetical imagery. It varies from gentle and fragile sound paintings to dramatic orchestral textures, full of vivacity and passion. Composer’s heedful treatment of melodic lines is combined with well-considered timbre choice. Last years Oriental melodic styles and Estonian folk song are reflected in his work. Tõnu Kõrvits is Laureate of Heino Eller Music Award (2001). In 2003 his orchestra piece Eldorado won III Prize at International Lepo Sumera Composition Contest for Young Composers. In 2002, Tõnu Kõrvits received the Young Cultural Figure Award of the President of the Republic’s Cultural Foundation, and in 2004 the Annual Prize of the Endowment for Music of the Cultural Endowment of Estonia. In 2007 he was awarded the Annual Music Prize of the Estonian Music Council for his contribution to Estonian orchestral music.
