With her new album TOMORROW, Costa Rican singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Phoebe Violet presents a powerful musical statement for humanism and hope. At a time of social upheaval and growing uncertainty, Violet deliberately directs her gaze toward the future.
TOMORROW combines emotional depth with powerful soundscapes and intimate moments. Between fragile vulnerability and determined strength, Phoebe Violet unfolds songs that inspire courage while also inviting listeners to pause and reflect. Her lyrics speak of compassion, responsibility, and the conviction that humanity is not an ideal, but a choice.
Together with Kenji Herbert, Jakob Schneidewind, and András Dés, the four musicians come together in a compelling musical consensus in which the stage transforms into an almost cinematic experience of compositions and freely improvised experimental music. A moving concert experience that combines musical excellence with social relevance—intense, multi-layered, and absolutely contemporary.

EMOTIONS THAT MAKE YOU SIGH
“Suspiros” consists of original songs for voice and guitar sung in Spanish. The music reminds of Fado and Latin American song of the 20th century embraced by contemporary simplicity. Poetic, elegant and romantic, Violet enters a world of profound intimacy with refreshing sensitivity.

AN Emotional Guideline of Romantic Love
"Tú y yo" - "You and I" - is a repertoire that goes through all the emotional peaks in a romantic relationship. The original compositions, sung in Spanish, are influenced by classical music and Latin American songs of the 20th century. Together with the cellists of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra - Zsófia Günther-Mészàros and Michael Günther - who harmonise on point with the protagonist, Violet tells her story in a theatrical atmosphere and presents love as a constantly changing process in which the fragile and the emotional become a strength of its own.

MICA Austria: PHOEBE VIOLET - ENTRE CIELO Y TIERRA
Greek Mythology from a Female Perspective
A musical myth that tells the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice from Eurydice's point of view. The story begins with the death of the nymph, revealing her journey in the underworld. The composition, told in 6 scenes, is an extension of the well-known love story without changing the original Virgil's version of the myth. Music theatre in its truest sense with a high sense of intensity and horror.

About Being Water
"Agua" - "Water" - is a composition for two voices, two violins, cello and double bass that reveals Phoebe Violet's fascination with water. In this piece, the human being is seen as a water organism; a being that possesses the beautiful quality of constantly changing and transforming; just like water. Very poetic and dreamy, it is thematically a naturalistic Zen-approach to life, set to minimalist classical music influenced by ritual and Yoruba music.
