‘Portrait Bryce Dessner’

Bryce Dessner has won Grammy Awards as a classical composer and with the band The National, of which he is guitarist, arranger, and co-principal song-writer. He is regularly commissioned to write for the world’s leading ensembles, from Orchestre de Paris to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and is a high-profile presence in film score composition. 

With the piano duo Katia and Marielle Lebèque, Dessner brings one of his favourite collaborations to Bozar: Dream House Quartet. In addition, the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra will perform three of his works and for a third concert, Dessner will, at the request of Bozar, invite musician friends. This unique evening is a one-off collaboration between Dessner, the singer-songwriters This is The Kit and Mina Tindle as well as the ever-surprising French string quartet Zaïde.
