*ANJELICA LINDSEY is a neo-classical composer, violinist, and recording artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Her work is concerned with language revitalization, cultural reclamation, and the sonic expression of identity through immersive and emotionally resonant composition.
In 2025, she became the first Cherokee woman to premiere a string quartet and was named a Public Fellow of the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities. Her compositions explore themes of romantic minimalism, cultural memory, and Native storytelling, blending contemporary classical music with voice, electronics, and lived experience.

Her childhood studies with renowned Cherokee artist Shan Goshorn shaped her artistic voice. She is the 2024 recipient of the Artists Creative Fund grant and continues to develop new works for full orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice, and film, including REQUIEM, the first ever composed in the Cherokee language.
