inti figgis-vizueta’s Music for Transitions

inti figgis-vizueta presents her 2026 debut album, *Music for Transitions*, in a performance with Grammy Award-winning cellist Andrew Yee and the Germany-based Rothko String Quartet. The program explores Indigenous heritage and trans identity through playful, ecstatic soundscapes, group improvisation, and continual musical transformation. Its recurring imagery includes land, wind, rivers, and cosmology, reflecting what composer George Lewis describes as “the dynamics of the decolonial.”
The performance marks the culmination of more than six years of collaboration among figgis-vizueta, Yee, and the Rothko String Quartet. Together and with other ensembles, Yee and the quartet have premiered more than 15 of figgis-vizueta’s works in the United States and Germany. The evening celebrates the release of *Music for Transitions* and highlights the ensemble’s cello-quintet sound.
