In the context of Estonian violin music, Tubin composed many of the most outstanding works, including 2 violin concertos, 2 violin sonatas with piano, Sonata for Solo Violin and Suite on Estonian Dance Tunes, as well as a number of shorter pieces. Tubin's works, with their crisp, northerly expression, are profoundly national in character. Sigrid Kuulmann studied at the Estonian Academy of Music, Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and at Robert Schumann Hochschule in Dusseldorf. She is a Laureate of Heino Eller International Violin Competition in Tallinn and is gaining further accolades for her performances of Estonian music, especially in Eduard Tubin's works.
