Episode 30 Camilla Hoitenga: Follow your Curiosity

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.
