Violinist Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabédian, cellist Raphaël Merlin, and pianist François-Frédéric Guy had all studied at the Paris Conservatory and had performed with some of the world's most prestigious orchestras and ensembles. The ensemble's first performance was in 1994 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. The program included works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Schumann, as well as contemporary pieces by French composer Gérard Pesson. The performance was well-received by both audiences and critics, and marked the beginning of a long and successful career for Ensemble 94.

The ensemble has also collaborated with some of the world's most renowned musicians, including pianist Martha Argerich, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and violinist Maxim Vengerov. One of the highlights of Ensemble 94's career was their performance at the 2008 Salzburg Festival. The ensemble performed a program of works by Mozart, Schubert, and Brahms, as well as a contemporary piece by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas. The performance was hailed as a triumph, with critics praising the ensemble's technical skill and emotional depth. Ensemble 94 has also been recognized with numerous awards and honors over the years. In 2001, the ensemble was awarded the Victoire de la Musique Classique, one of France's most prestigious music awards. The ensemble has also been awarded the Diapason d'Or, the Choc de Classica, and the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
