Ēriks Ešenvalds

Composer

The Latvian composer ĒRIKS EŠENVALDS has emerged as one of the most soughtafter composers of his generation. Recent commissions include works for the Boston and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras, the Utah Symphony, and a new opera at the Latvian National Opera.

The multimedia symphony Nordic Light was co-commissioned by orchestras and choirs in Latvia, Canada, the USA, Germany and the UK, for premier in Latvia in April 2015. Particularly well-known for his choral works he has written for choirs from the UK to Japan, South Africa to the USA, and Australia to Canada.

His music is regularly recorded, with the newest recording coming from the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, following a fruitful time as Fellow Commoner at Trinity College, Cambridge University from 2011-2013. Ēriks is a popular public speaker, which he often combines with leading workshops on his music.
