With the Dream House Quartet project, created with pianist sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque and David Chalmin, Bryce Dessner returns to the Romaeuropa Festival.
Inspired by Philip Glass interpretation of Les Enfants Terribles, the four artists' musical performance suggestively blends the music of Meredith Monk, Italian premieres by Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir and David Chalmin, and the premiere of a new composition that Dessner personally signed.

The Dream House Quartet formed in 2018, blending music in its most classical form with new contemporary influences, thanks to the mastery of piano virtuosos Katia and Marielle Labèque and acclaimed composer-guitarists Bryce Dessner and David Chalmin.
In 2019, they proposed their first project, in which Thom Yorke participates as a special guest, at the Paris Philharmonie. Their tour continues on prestigious stages in Lyon, London, and Hamburg.
