Born in 2015, this young ensemble has been playing in many festivals, in France and throughout the world. It is though in 2017 that Zahir Quartet stands out winning the first prize of the 9th Osaka International Chamber Music Competition (Japan), earning an international recognition. They have been ever since invited to prestigious venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall, Vienna’s Konzerthaus, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Folles Journées de Nantes and Tokyo’s Toppan Hall.

Graduated from the Paris Conservatoire where they studied with the Quatuor Ébène and the Quintette Moraguès, Zahir Quartet is currently in a residence at Fondation Singer-Polignac. After a first CD in 2018, the Quartet is now collaborating with the Aparté label to release L'Heure bleue in 2024. This recording highlights the reasons that brought the ensemble together: sharing the same artistic sensibility, a sharp thoroughness and the will of renewing the musical scenery.
