Music for Transitions, a performance of inti figgis-vizueta's debut album with Andrew Yee and Rothko String Quartet.
“Ever-intriguing, rising new music star.” — Los Angeles Times
Composer inti figgis-vizueta presents her 2026 debut record Music for Transitions, with a performance featuring Grammy Award-winning cellist Andrew Yee and the Germany-based Rothko String Quartet (RSQ). Exploring Indigenous heritage and trans identity through playful, ecstatic soundscapes, the album exemplifies figgis-vizueta’s deep commitment to personal liberation through group improvisation. Recurring themes of land, wind, rivers and cosmology are framed by constant musical transformation in what composer George Lewis calls “the dynamics of the decolonial.”
This program is the culmination of over six years of simultaneous collaborations between figgis-vizueta, Yee and RSQ. In their work together and with different ensembles, Yee and RSQ have premiered over fifteen works by figgis-vizueta in the United States and Germany, establishing themselves as champions of her music. Join us for this unforgettable evening showcasing the creative heights of this cello quintet in celebration of the release of Music for Transitions.
