About this Artist
Two-time Grammy Award-winning cellist and composer Andrew Yee (she/they) loves making art. She is a founding member of the Attacca Quartet, whose recordings of string quartets of Caroline Shaw, Orange and Evergreen, have each won Grammy Awards. They can also be heard on the score of the Alfonso Cuarón show Disclaimer by Finneas O’Connell and on Billie Eilish’s album Hit Me Hard and Soft.
As a composer she has written for film and television, including Wu Tsang’s Moby Dick; Love, Jamie; and the BBC show We Might Regret This. She has had pieces premiered by the Zurich Chamber Ensemble, the New York Philharmonic, and Caroline Shaw. Her new version of the opera Carmen was premiered in Zurich in 2024.
As well as performing with orchestras and chamber groups around the world as a soloist, Yee also has a solo project called “Halfie” that draws from her experience as a trans woman and being biracial.
