Becoming the QAH was a true quest ; starting from scratch in 2001, with no repertoire, no sponsor, no clarinet quartet as a reference, but with the spirit of a brass band and camaraderie, akin to a sports team preparing for a shared adventure, the QAH climbed the steps one by one to become the unique quartet it is today.

From the village halls and churches of its beginnings to the Salle Cortot, Salle Gaveau, Montpellier Opera, Tours, Arsenal de Metz, Maison de la Radio, and TV experiences on Arte and France 2, the QAH has accomplished phenomenal work. A career that began 22 years ago but took on a new dimension in 2019, particularly by collaboration with Pierre Colombet from the Quatuor Ebène, working alongside him and receiving recognition from a segment of the musical world that had not yet discovered its full talent.

In its vibrant third decade, the Quatuor Anches Hantées has managed to establish itself as a true bridge between rigor, tradition, innovation and modernity. It now combines youth, experience, and artistic maturity.
