Klotiņš has been playing in Sinfonietta Rīga since its founding, along with being in the Sinfonietta Rīga String Quartet since its founding as well.

Klotiņš also performs solos with, among others, such collectives as Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music Orchestra (Tchaikovsky’s Variations), Latvian National Symphony Orchestra (Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1) and Sinfonietta Rīga (Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Cellos).
