In recognition of Nikolaus Fheodoroff's achievements, the Carinthian state government has awarded the composition prize named after him in various categories since 2013. Composers of all nationalities and ages were invited to submit works for solo quartet and orchestra for 2025. David Kosviner, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and living in Austria since 2011, received the award in 2025. His award-winning work, Sentiero, will be presented on June 14, 2026. The KSO and its chief conductor, Chin-Chao Lin, will accompany this world premiere with the three movements for string orchestra by the competition's dedicatee, as well as with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's brilliantly orchestrated Scheherazade Suite.
