Flutist Camilla Hoitenga is at home on stages all over the world, performing in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Kremlin in Moscow and the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. She is especially well known for her collaborations with composers like Kaija Saariaho and Karlheinz Stockhausen. She has premiered concertos written for her by composers such as Kaija Saariaho, Péter Köszeghy, Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi and Raminta Serksnyte with orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Royal Philharmonic of Stockholm, the Finnish Radio Orchestra, as well as with orchestras in Paris, Barcelona, Helsinki, Berlin, Kyoto, Tampere, Frankfurt, Vilnius, and many others, working with conductors like Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Susanna Mälkki, Alan Gilbert, Christoph Eschenbach, Marin Alsop, and Vladimir Jurowski, and has appeared at festivals from Ojai to Paris to Salzburg to Kyoto.

Her recordings, in particular those with Kaija Saariaho, have won awards in France, Great Britain and in North America.
