Henrique Eisenmann

Acclaimed as "a truly impressive Brazilian pianist" by the Latin Beat Magazine (May 2012), Henrique Eisenmann is one of the most provocative musicians in Boston, having already made his mark on the contemporary Brazilian jazz scene over the past several years. Only 24 years old, he has performed with dozens of groups since his arrival in the United States in 2010, performing in such prestigious venues as Jordan Hall, Regattabar, WGBH Fraser Hall, Boston Convention Center and many international festivals as the Nisville Jazz Festival (Serbia), Panama Jazz Festival (Panama), Boston’s JazzWeek, Bansko Jazz Festival (Bulgaria), Zfuno Tarbut Festival (Israel) and small venues in Berlin, New York, Paris and Rio de Janeiro. Henrique performed also in smaller venues and many others in Boston, New York, Paris, Berlin, Panama City, Tel Aviv, Serbia and Bulgaria. In 2008 in Brazil he received a grant from the São Paulo City Hall Foundation for the recording and national tour of the albums “Festa da Cumieira” (a project inspired by the music of Hermeto Pascoal), and “Alexei e Banda Toda” (celebrating the works of Alexei Alves). Henrique’s music presents a mix of several influences, from the propelling Brazilian folk rhythms, the explosiveness of McCoy Tyner to the harmonies of Ravel and the raw expressionism of Hermeto Pascoal. Currently he is a doctoral student at the New England Conservatory in Boston, where he completed his Masters degree studying with jazz legends Ran Blake, Fred Hersch, Bob Moses, Dave Holland, and Jason Moran.
