Galina Grigorjeva (Ukrainian: Галина Григорьєва, born 2 December 1962 in Simferopol, Ukraine) is a Ukrainian composer who lives in Estonia.[1]
She studied at Odesa Conservatory, and in 1991 she graduated from St. Petersburg Conservatory.[1]
In the 2000s she worked at the musical group NYYD Ensemble.[1]
In 2014 she was awarded with Order of the White Star, IV class.[2]
Grigorjeva has received a number of awards, including the Heino Eller Music Prize and the Lepo Sumera Composer Prize, and in 2015 her CD "In Paradisum" won the prize for best classical album at the Eesti Muusikaauhinnad (Estonian Music Prize). [3]
Musical Style
Although a contemporary composer, Grigorjeva’s music uses the subtle and animated melodic styles reflecting influences from early European polyphony and Slavonic sacred music.[4] Choral compositions are deeply rooted in the traditions of the Orthodox Church and ancient Russian and Slavonic folklore.[5]
