The LHV new music award Au-tasu will be given to a composer whose composition is recognized by jury as the best work premiered in 2018. The award appreciates new Estonian music and composers and brings spotlight on the contemporary works that attract a wider following and deserve to be introduced to international audiences.
The Estonian Composers’ Union and the LHV Bank who is sponsoring the award believe it is necessary to highlight the valuable and high-quality creative work that is done among the Estonian classical music composers. The award, given out for the fourth time this year, will recognise one composer for a new work of a significant quality.
