Zephyr Quartet

[citation needed] In August 2019, shortly after winning the APRA Award for Excellence by an Organisation (see below), Zephyr announced that they would be taking a pause from regular performances for a period, although not disbanding completely.

[2] Zephyr has a continuing commitment to the development and promotion of contemporary classical music and often commissions and performs works by living composers.

[citation needed] Each member of the quartet are also experienced composers, who often contribute their own work in their concerts and recordings.

[2] The quartet has worked with Brink Productions, Australian Dance Theatre, and an interior designer, Khai Liew.

The judges' comments included: “defies genre, style and expectation”, and mentioned its 20-year history of having “fearlessly championed new Australian work” and "sustained contribution to the local, national and international arts scene”.
