Founded in 2018, the Dream House Quartet is bringing classical and contemporary music into completely new forms as a matter of course. The members can draw on decades of musical expertise: the two piano sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque – one of the most renowned piano duet who have never confined themselves to a single genre – 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. After their self-titled digital EP released in 2023, the quartet now presents a brand-new album. Entitled Sonic Wires, the album features works by Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Bryce Dessner, David Chalmin, Sufjan Stevens, Caroline Shaw, Timo Andres, David Lang and Anna Thorvaldsdottir.
