Gaby Pas-Van Riet - Vita for short - was principal flute of the SWR Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart for 33 years. She is a permanent member of the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra as principal flutist and has been a permanent guest principal flutist with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra since the beginning of the 2000/2001 season. She has worked with Claudio Abbado, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
"arcata stuttgart" was founded in 1984 by Patrick Strub together with 19 young professional string players. The young chamber orchestra quickly won the favour of the public with its lively and stylistically confident performances. Its trump cards include chamber music flexibility and technical precision as well as a wide repertoire ranging from early baroque to contemporary music.
