The Russian flutist Katja Pitelina, who currently lives in The Netherlands, is a versatile musician. On modern and period instruments she plays a remarkably broad repertoire, that reaches from seventeenth century baroque to contemporary music. For every flute composition she chooses the appropriate flute from her rich collection of instruments. Katja Pitelina regularly plays in concert series and festivals, in Holland and abroad, as a soloist, in chamber music ensembles and with (baroque) orchestras. She performed chamber music with well known musicians like Gustav Leonhardt, Lucy van Dael, Bob van Asperen, Siebe Henstra and Barthold Kuijken. In April of 2009 she performed in the annual Queen's Concert at the Noordeinde Palace for the Dutch Royal family. During the season 2008/09 she will give a concert series in The Hague and Amsterdam, in which she plays with a.o. the guitarist Johannes Möller and the harpist Lavinia Meijer. Her first solo-cd is in preparation.
