ATLYS

Born from a prim and proper conservatory background, barrier-breaking string quartet ATLYS was formed from a dream to bust through classical stereotypes and create a welcoming atmosphere for people of all backgrounds. The all female, powerhouse group has created an atlas of cinematic music spanning a variety of genres, following in the footsteps of groups like the Turtle Island and Kronos string quartets by expanding the boundaries of sound with their traditional instruments and incorporating digital technology through looping and computer programming.

Self-built and fan-funded, they have grown a global fanbase and their music has been streamed over 12 million times worldwide. Their gutsy and virtuosic sound has taken them to venues like Red Rocks and the Gorge amphitheaters, but they’re equally at home in small, intimate venues. They’ve supported artists from a plethora of backgrounds like EDM producer Seven Lions, Indie songstress Spellling, and alternative, feel good band, Sammy Rae and the Friends.

ATLYS has revolutionized their paradigm, perfecting the art of remote recording, launching a YouTube channel featuring tutorials and creative, self produced music videos, and publishing their unique arrangements. Post concerts, you’ll find them out by the merch table delightedly embracing and meeting fans and likely even sharing photos of their pets!
