Working with the ATLYS quartet was absolutely a pleasure. I was impressed with their talent in arrangement and performance, as well as their professionalism.

The passion and creativity they bring to their work is inspiring!

I am thankful for them always being open to any musical challenge I presented. They delivered absolutely beautiful work that elevated my artistic vision, with a great attitude towards revisions and feedback. They really know how to understand a composer, and how to perform music in a fresh new way.

ATLYS is incredible to work with, and they are my go-to group for any score with strings. They are extremely expressive and sensitive to whatever musical tone I am looking to create. We have worked together remotely many times and they have always been a joy to collaborate with; dedicated, professional and, most importantly, they deliver incredible music!

Going into this we had quite a few pieces to record in a set time limit, so we were concerned about achieving our goals within that time constraint. [Atlys] played with great precision and more importantly to me, great feeling. The way they ended phrases together was outstanding, and yes - we finished the project on time, and even early.

About ATLYS

ATLYS is a classically trained, crossover string quartet known for their passionate performances and signature sound. Founded in 2016, the ensemble has reimagined what a modern string quartet can be: appearing on world-renowned stages like Red Rocks and The Gorge, earning over 30 million streams on Spotify, and performing more than 1,000 shows across the globe. As ambassadors for Shar Music and Schertler microphones, ATLYS blends classical precision with cutting-edge technology, captivating audiences through both live and virtual performances.

With a collective background spanning prestigious orchestras and chamber ensembles, violinists Jinty McTavish and Sabrina Tabby, cellist Genevieve Tabby, and violist Susan Bengtson Price bring unmatched versatility to their craft and have supported artists from a plethora of backgrounds like EDM producer Seven Lions, ska punk legends Streetlight Manifesto, alternative, feel good band, Sammy Rae and the Friends, and modern renaissance indie artist Fish in a Birdcage. Together, they curate dynamic programs, publish their own innovative arrangements, and continually push the boundaries of genre and setting. Whether on iconic stages, in intimate venues, or through remote recordings, ATLYS embodies discovery, creativity, and the power of music to inspire across generations.

ATLYS is my favorite group that I support on Patreon. You constantly interact with your supporters and provide amazing content. I can't wait until you receive your first Grammy and I can gloat that I was a small part of your success. Love you ladies.💛💚💙

So often, your talents jump off the screen and into my heart, reminding me what rare gifts you possess. To have the ability to move first-time listeners is definitely a gift. But to move those familiar with your talent, time and time again, is beyond special. The term “magical ” doesn't fully describe it. Maybe reaching into the chest and pulling out your heart is more descriptive (at least to Edgar Allan Poe!). You guys, keep creating and inspiring. And stay the authentic, wonderful people you are. I'm always in your corner!!

And yet what makes the connection personal is their consistent involvement in the Patreon community. Each week brings a new music video with insider commentary, in addition to periodic video updates about upcoming events and current happenings within the ATLYS family. It's a joy to participate in a forum where the content creators actually read and respond to every single comment.

And all of this excitement comes from a fan who still hasn't had the opportunity to meet them in person! One day our calendars will actually intersect, and there will be hugs all around...
