“... A giant in talent.”

“Habibi’s arpeggios flowed effortlessly.”

“The two musicians, played with a close and sensitive rapport, revealed by frequent eye contact. The seamless partnership of these two musicians, Zachary and Habibi, was impressive to witness.”

Alanna Matthew, The Penticton Herald

“A confident player...”

“Habibi exhibited some very dramatic and intense playing all the way to the end. The audience reacted enthusiastically to the guest performer,  rewarding him with a well-deserved standing ovation.”

Valerie Giles, Prince George Citizen

“The composition style of this young Canadian reads like an amalgam of his various listening interests. Over the prim formalism of Romantic piano, Habibi weaves a mix of swooping, neo-Dvorak strings and a contemporary artist's readiness to modulate.”

“I really believe [Habibi] is going to be one of the big names in classical music and I wanted to beat everybody else to the punch.”

Maestro Leslie Dala, The Prince George Citizen
