Maria Kõrvits (Estonia) was the selected composer in the Under-30 category at IRC2016. Thanks to the Rostrum+ project, she was able to visit Piteå, Sweden where she met the NEO Ensemble for which she will compose a work co commissioned by the International Music Council and the Swedish Radio.

Maria had the time to learn about the ensemble’s musical possibilities and styles and started discussions about the music she will compose.

In addition, Maria gave a lecture on her compositions and her life as a young composer at the local conservatory where students were enthusiast about such nice occasion for exchange and share.
