Behind the Music—the Cultural Caravan's popular concert-and-conversation series features Artistic Director Josh Halpern in unscripted conversation with a lineup of dynamic MainStage artists. Get a rare glimpse into their creative process, hear music you won't experience anywhere else, and bring your own questions about art, inspiration, and life.
For this special June Festival edition taking place at the Collective Community Arts Center, Henrique Eisenmann—renowned Brazilian jazz pianist, faculty member at the Juilliard School, a current member of the six-time Grammy-winning Paul Winter Consort, and collaborator with Steve Reich, The Brubeck Brothers, and many others on stages across the world—joins cellist and Cultural Caravan Artistic Director Josh Halpern to discuss the new work he has composed especially for the two of them. He'll share how he draws on their combined classical and jazz backgrounds and weaving together elements from musical cultures across the globe, Western harmonic language, and space for spontaneous individual expression.
At the heart of Henrique's artistic philosophy is a quote from writer Nina Berberova: "I don't have roots, I have feet." It's a principle that animates everything he does—not the restlessness of a nomad, but the curiosity of someone who seeks out hidden pearls, forgotten voices, and overlooked genres and brings them back to life with both reverence and artistic daring. Dialogue and listening, he believes, are the foundation of all music-making; improvisation is simply their most direct expression.

Behind the Music—la popular serie de conciertos y conversaciones de Cultural Caravan—presenta al Director Artístico Josh Halpern en conversación espontánea con una serie de destacados artistas del MainStage. Obtenga una mirada poco común a su proceso creativo, escuche música que no encontrará en ningún otro lugar, y traiga sus propias preguntas sobre el arte, la inspiración y la vida.
Para esta edición especial del Festival de junio, que tendrá lugar en el Collective Community Arts Center, Henrique Eisenmann—reconocido pianista de jazz brasileño, miembro del cuerpo docente de la Escuela Juilliard, miembro activo del Paul Winter Consort (ganador de seis premios Grammy), y colaborador de Steve Reich, The Brubeck Brothers y muchos otros en escenarios de todo el mundo—se une al cellista y Director Artístico de Cultural Caravan Josh Halpern para hablar sobre la nueva obra que ha compuesto especialmente para los dos. Compartirá cómo se nutre de sus trayectorias combinadas en la música clásica y el jazz, entretejiendo elementos de culturas musicales de todo el mundo, el lenguaje armónico occidental y el espacio para la expresión individual espontánea.
En el corazón de la filosofía artística de Henrique hay una cita de la escritora Nina Berberova: "No tengo raíces, tengo pies." Es un principio que anima todo lo que hace—no la inquietud de un nómada, sino la curiosidad de alguien que busca perlas ocultas, voces olvidadas y géneros ignorados, y los devuelve a la vida con reverencia y audacia artística. El diálogo y la escucha, cree él, son el fundamento de toda creación musical; la improvisación es simplemente su expresión más directa.
