Cellist, composer, and member of the VC Artist Attaca Quartet, Andrew Yee joins Gabriel Kahane and Jessie Montgomery as the composer-performers on the MKI Artists roster.

"I decided a few years ago to put myself out there as the kind of artist I saw others become," Andrew said. "MKI has been doing such great work with my forever team, the Attaca Quartet, and I have been wanting to expand my reach as a composer and soloist, they were the obvious first choice, and I am so happy they have brought me on."

One of the projects MKI Artists will focus on is touring Yee's work, "Trans Requiem."

The piece received its world premiere in New York City in September 2025 at Trinity Church.

Written for trans voices, choirs, and orchestra, Yee’s work not only amplifies the beauty, strength, and diversity of the trans experience but also affirms the dignity of every voice.

“My Trans Requiem not only mourns for those who have passed, but also for the loss of our rights, and safety,” she said. “But much like a traditional mass setting, I also focus on the things that hold us together. I wrote the piece to celebrate my trans community and to have a focused time to uplift and to mourn.

Andrew Yee has received two GRAMMY Awards as a founding member of the Attacca Quartet. The quartet can also be heard on the score to Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ series Disclaimer (music by Finneas O’Connell) and on Billie Eilish’s album Hit Me Hard and Soft.

As a composer, she has co-composed the score for Wu Tsang’s "MOBY DICK; or, The Whale" with Caroline Shaw. Her music for film and television includes Love, Jamie (PBS American Masters), and two seasons of the BBC series We Might Regret This, where she also appears as a performer.
