Camilla Hoitenga has worked with some of the most important composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. In our conversation we talk about her approach to improvisation, collaborating with composers: in particular her long friendship-collaboration with Kaija Saariaho, and the importance of trusting in, and following your curiosity.
I highly recommend listeners to check out her website, and you can find a growing set of masterclasses on Hoitenga's youtube channel.
