Pauli í Sandagerði (b.1955)

Paulis musical education was built up bit by bit, under various teachers. His
earliest interest was in playing the piano, but with time, working with choirs and composing superseded this, and it is as a composer that he is best known.
He has written music of various types: folk songs, rock music, songs (lieder), choir music, sonatas, oratorios, music for the piano, chamber- and orchestral music in a modern (classical) form. His main interest however, is writing songs.
Pauli í Sandagerði has been one of the pioneers in Faroese musical composition.
The piece Heystkvøld í Havn from 1988 is about an Autumn evening in the old part of Tórshavn.

Sunleif Rasmussen (b.1961)

The Faroe Islands and the North Atlantic nature are key factors in his music, which bears indelible traces of wind, dunes, lyme grass and the ever-present Atlantic Ocean.
His music may not seem inherently Faroese, but deep within the musical structure, traces of accumulated Faroese folk songs linger, reborn in new forms. His compositions
have a natural complexity, combining jazz with the rich Faroese folk tradition as well as with electroacoustic and spectral music. The result is highly evocative, beautiful, and not difficult to listen to.
The power and complexity of his music often reflects nature, shimmering with energy and movement, as is evident in titles like Symphony no. 1: Oceanic Days(1995) and Vogelstimmung (2011). In 2002, he won the Nordic Council Music Prize.
Sunleif was the conductor of Tarira when it was founded in 2002 through to summer 2013 and then again 2020-2021. Kvøldvísa um summarmála is an evening song about the first day of the Summer season, which is called Summarmáli in Faroese.

Tróndur Bogason (b. 1976)

His music has a distinctive and ghostlike character – filled with temperament and primal force.
His music contains a dramaturgy in which the use of spatial and visual aspects often play a dominant role, and where the music creates an absurd theaterlike world of great contrasts.
He has a wide compositional span which ranges from the small choir miniature to complex works of various instrumentations, he has won several 1. prizes in composition competitions and his music has been performed by wide selection of Faroese and international performers around the world.
In recent years, he has also arranged for a number of folk/pop/rock artists including Hanus G. Johansen, Teitur Lassen, Guðrið Hansdóttir and Eivør Pálsdóttir. In 2010 he was nominated for the Nordic Council Music Prize for the third time.
Tarira commissioned Sonnet LXX for the 400 years celebration of Shakespear in 2016.
