FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anjelica Lindsey Presents OKLAHOMA WOMAN QUARTET in Final Performance of 2025 Season as Public Fellow for the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities
Tulsa, OK – On October 1, 2025, composer Anjelica Lindsey will present the final performance of her 2025 season with the world premiere of Oklahoma Woman Quartet, performed by the University of Tulsa’s Hurricane Quartet.
Oklahoma Woman Quartet is the artistic title for Lindsey’s cycle of works for string quartet and voice. For this performance, she unveils new orchestrations of her compositions, highlighting not only her vision as a composer but also her craft as an arranger. The work deepens her reputation for blending Cherokee identity, personal history, and contemporary classical expression into a distinctive voice.
This concert also marks a historic milestone: Lindsey is the first Cherokee woman to premiere an original work for string quartet and voice, affirming her place as a groundbreaking figure in American composition.
Presented with support from the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities Fellowship at the University of Tulsa, the performance continues Lindsey’s exploration of myth, memory, and women’s voices in Oklahoma’s cultural landscape.
“Oklahoma Woman Quartet is about how stories live in us,” says Lindsey. “As a Cherokee woman, I compose from that perspective, and with each performance, I break through the mythology of the Oklahoma experience.”
The program is part of Lindsey’s larger body of work, which includes the landmark REQUIEM which is the first requiem ever written in the Cherokee language, and upcoming projects such as OKLAHOMA WOMAN QUARTET, the studio album.
The October 1 performance is made possible through the generous support of the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities at the University of Tulsa, which currently hosts Lindsey as a Public Fellow.
