Most of her work is chamber music [2]
Vihmand's musical style is recognized for its restrainedly lyrical and freshly sentimental quality, [3] while her music language is often described as poetic and expressive, with an emphasis on balancing the emotional and rational aspects. [4] Her finely crafted sound qualities distinguish her music from others. [4] Vihmand achieved international recognition for her orchestral piece "Floreo," which won the first prize in the category of under-30-year-olds at the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers held in Paris in 1996. [4] She was also awarded the Cultural Prize of the Republic of Estonia for her chamber opera "Lugu klaasist...Geschichte von Glas" (1995). [4]
