Dream House Quartet

• Electronic

Founded in 2018, the Dream House Quartet has the potential to permanently shift genre boundaries that were thought to be fixed. The quartet succeeds in bringing classical and contemporary music into completely new forms as a matter of course. The members can draw on decades of musical expertise: pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque are considered luminaries on the piano and have always felt just as at home in classical music as in minimal music, jazz or pop music. The two sisters are joined by Grammy-winning guitarist, composer and founding member of The National Bryce Dessner and composer, musician and producer David Chalmin, also on guitar. Together they perform radical commissions from visionary composers and key contemporary works from the past half century.
