Career
Steingrimur Rohloff has received numerous prizes for his compositions. His orchestral works Sol, Gravitation and the Saxophone Concerto were first performed in Gothenburg, Saarbrücken and Oslo and received a lot of attention, when he was awarded the Bernd-Alois-Zimmermann-Prize of the City of Cologne in Germany in 2003. This prize was mainly given to him because of those large orchestral pieces, which the jury called "of an original fantasy... a virtuoso technique in the treatment of the orchestra...melodic invention...exciting colour-developments..."
His works have been performed in more than 25 countries worldwide.
