Ford Will Perform TRUCE: NOCTURNE at Manhattan Plaza"},"content":{"rendered":"

On Thursday, May 28 at 7:30 PM, acclaimed pianist, composer, and writer Carli Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> presents TRUCE: Nocturne, an intimate, genre-blurring evening of poetry, live piano, and conversation at The Ellington Room in Manhattan Plaza.<\/p>\n

Neither concert nor conventional reading, TRUCE: Nocturne unfolds as a curated salon-where music, language, and lived experience converge in real time. Built around Mu\u00f1oz’s forthcoming poetry collection TRUCE, the evening invites audiences into a shared space of reflection, rhythm, and presence.<\/p>\n

Mu\u00f1oz, whose decades-long career spans international jazz performance, composition, and hospitality, brings a deeply personal voice to the stage-one shaped by a life lived across music, culture, and cities. In TRUCE: Nocturne, that voice expands beyond the piano into language, memory, and philosophical inquiry.<\/p>\n

The program features guest poet Robert C. Ford<\/a>, known as “The Wall Street Poet,” whose work offers a sharp, contemporary counterpoint. Ford notes, “There’s something rare about an event like this, where music and language meet without needing to resolve.”<\/p>\n

Bassist Eric Wheeler<\/a> joins for live musical interplay, while M\u00eda Mu\u00f1oz appears in a subtle, movement-based presence that blurs the line between performance and apparition. The evening also includes a musical moment by composer Eugene McBride<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Structured in movements rather than acts, the 90-minute experience flows from solo piano into spoken word, guided conversation, and back into music-allowing the audience to inhabit the performance, rather than simply observe it.<\/p>\n

“This is not about presenting finished ideas,” says Mu\u00f1oz. “It’s about creating a room where something can happen-between people, between notes, between lines.”<\/p>\n

With TRUCE: Nocturne, Mu\u00f1oz inaugurates what he envisions as an ongoing series of salon-style gatherings in New York and beyond-intimate, recurring events centered on artistic exchange and shared attention.<\/p>\n
