ZAGREBAČKI KVARTET najstariji je hrvatski komorni ansambl. Godine 1919. utemeljili su ga Vaclav Huml, Ladislav Miranov, Milan Graf i Umberto Fabbri. Do konca prvog razdoblja djelovanja (1943) u Kvartetu su djelovali mnogi istaknuti glazbenici, među kojima se ističu Dragutin Arany, Zlatko Topolski te Stjepan Šulek. Drugo razdoblje Zagrebačkog kvarteta počinje 1954. kada ga ponovno utemeljuju Josip Klima, Tomislav Šestak, Dušan Strani?i Zvonimir Pomykalo. Tijekom dotadašnjih četiri desetljeća tog razdoblja, među ostalima, kroz Kvartet su prošli i Zlatko Balija, Fred Kiefer, Josip Stojanovi? Ivan Kuzmi? Dorđe i Marija Trkulja, Goran Bakra? i drugi, a današnji sastav Kvarteta čine Goran Končar, Davor Philips, Ante Živkovi?i Martin Jordan. Kvartet je nastupao u znamenitim koncertnim dvoranama poput Sydney Opera House, New York UN Concert Hall, Berlin Schauspielhaus, London St. John Smith Sq. i mnogim drugima. Brojni tonski zapisi, između ostalog preko 40 gramofonskih ploča, govore o bogatom repertoaru Zagrebačkog kvarteta, ali i o trajnoj skrbi za domaće glazbeno stvaralaštvo. Mnogi domaći i inozemni skladatelji ve?od 1920. godine posvetili su svoja djela Zagrebačkom kvartetu. Tijekom svoga djelovanja Kvartet je nagrađen brojnim domaćim i inozemnim nagradama.
