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).
Although a contemporary composer, Grigorjeva’s music uses the subtle and animated melodic styles reflecting influences from early European polyphony and Slavonic sacred music. Choral compositions are deeply rooted in the traditions of the Orthodox Church and ancient Russian and Slavonic folklore.
