![]() ![]() We’ve been quartet in residence for organizations like the Elgin Youth Symphony, the Chicago Youth Symphony, North Central College (Naperville), the OAcademy (Orchestra of the Americas), and Purdue Convos. ![]() We love exchanging knowledge and continuing to learn more and more about these topics.Įducation is another very important part of the ATLYS mission. That’s not to say that we don’t do studio recordings as well! We always prefer recording together when requested and budget allows.Īs women in the music industry, we’re super proud to have gotten as far as we have without help from a management team–though we wouldn’t say no if the right one came around! We’ve worked hard to hone our skills in recording engineering and production–parts of the industry that were traditionally male dominated. We receive copious amount of requests from composers and artists around the world to add our real, intricate, and full string quartet sound to their tracks…and have yet to have someone be able to tell the difference between our remote and in-room recordings. Our signature remote recording system enables us to record from anywhere–separate, but together. And by default, attracting people to our concerts who might have never seen a string quartet perform before!īut performing isn’t the only thing we do! Recording is another facet to the ATLYS universe. Our favorite thing is breaking out and performing music that people wouldn’t expect a string quartet to play. We have performed thousands of concerts around the world, featuring music from a plethora of genres…from head banging EDM (check out our album OPUS), to the cherished beauty of video game music (listen to Fair Winds and Following Seas–an ode to the Legend of Zelda universe), to pop favorites by Billie Eilish (“Everything I wanted”), Imagine Dragons (“Believer”), and even the Beatles (“A Day in the Life.”) And all of this in venues varying from Red Rocks and the Gorge Amphitheatres to smaller music clubs, wineries, and more conventional performance venues. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.ĪTLYS is a classical crossover, cinematic pop string quartet that seeks to perform music that is relatable and welcoming to audiences of all kinds. Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Slated to release mid 2024, we can hardly contain our excitement over the beauty of this record!! Stay tuned! Because ATLYS typically performs crossover, cinematic pop music, we knew it was necessary to invite someone with his expertise and finesse in recording the nuances of classical music that this music deserved and required.Īnd just a few weeks ago, we recorded it! It was an emotional thing watching the culmination of so much hard work on our part as well as the magnitude of support we received from our ATLYS community. This June we worked extremely hard to help gather the funds to work with our dream producer, Adam Abeshouse. And that we wanted to do it with the best in the business. It was our first performance following our long hiatus because of the pandemic, and it was magical.īut the project didn’t stop there! We knew we needed to record this amazing work. Two years later, we premiered Ari Fisher’s hour-long, 10-movement masterpiece for a sold-out audience inside the Sonnenberg grounds. He admitted that it wasn’t until seeing us perform a concert in his hometown thanks to the Geneva Music Festival: this music should be written for the intimate but powerful string quartet, rather than a larger ensemble, and he wanted that string quartet to be us!. a Japanese Garden, a Rock Garden, an Old Fashioned Garden, etc.). Thomas had for over a decade, envisioned a piece of music inspired by the magic and mysticism of the enchanting and historical Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion in Canandaigua with a movement dedicated to each of the themed sections of the garden (e.g. It was originally commissioned by a man named Thomas Mees from Canandaigua. The album is a recording of the Sonnenberg Suite, a 10 movement, Neo-Romantic piece written especially for us by Ari Fisher. One that required our first ever Kickstarter and enabled us to work with one of the top classical music producers in the industry, Adam Abeshouse. However, this year, we embarked on one of the most difficult, yet rewarding projects yet. I like to think every one of our ATLYS projects is meaningful to us. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on? Jinty, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below. Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jinty McTavish. ![]()
