Modigliani Quartet is a French string quartet founded in Paris in 2003 by four close friends, following their studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris.

They studied with the Ysaÿe Quartet in Paris, attended masterclasses by Walter Levin and György Kurtág in 2004, and had the opportunity to work with the Artemis Quartet at the Universität der Künste in Berlin in 2005. They attracted international attention by winning the Frits Philips String Quartet competition in Eindhoven (2004), the Vittorio Rimbotti competition in Florence (2005) and the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York (2006).

The Modigliani Quartet plays in venues like Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, Berlin's Konzerthaus, Brussels's Bozar, Vienna's Musikverein and Konzerthaus, Salzburg's Mozarteum, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Cité de la Musique, Lucerne Festival, Schwetzingen Festival, Rheingau Festival, Kissinger Sommer, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Schwarzenberg Schubertiade, Washington DC's Library of Congress, Marlboro Festival, Luxemburg's Philharmonie, Zurich's Tonhalle, Munich's Herkulessaal, La Fenice in Venice...
