PODCASTS:

Neue Musik Leben with Irene Kuka (September 2024)

Flutist Camilla Hoitenga talks about her pathway into playing flute and contemporary music and about how she follows her interest and her gut feelings. She also reflects on traveling, routines and her friendship and collaboration with Kajia Saariaho.

Flute Talks with Renata Kambarova (January 2022)

I met Camilla Hoitenga as member of faculty of FXSI : Flute Xpansions Sonic Immersion. (Thanks Shanna Pranaitis for all this!)

Her workshops were always informative, with a nice atmosphere, extremely inspiring. They gave me very interesting tools and gave me courage to create and share moments of music interacting with art. One month later, I was in Darmstadt and was surprised to learn that Camilla herself was there too! And couldn’t resist asking her the favor of interviewing her for this podcast, and I am very honored that she accepted.

Radio interviews:

Radio New Zealand with Byran Crump on Three to Seven (13 June 2023)

Camilla Hoitenga plays Aile du Songe

“American flute player Camilla Hoitenga is in Tāmaki Makaurau as a short notice replacement for Auckland Philharmonia soloist Ana de las Vega.

Camilla will be playing ‘Aile du songe’, a concerto by her friend, the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, who died earlier this month.

Bryan Crump spoke with Camilla about their friendship, and being part of the German avant-garde music scene in the heyday of Karlheinz Stockhausen – it turns out playing Stockhausen when busking was quite lucrative.”
