Working with different artists opens up new perspectives and sounds.
Catalan Austrian-based pianist Jordina Millà is one of the most exciting innovators of free improvised music in the current contemporary scene. Mentored by renowned improvisor Agustí Fernández, her deep, calculated expressions and passionate physical performances convey a constantly evolving repertoire of impressive techniques, and unique sound design.
She has several critically-acclaimed albums to her name, including Males Herbes (her solo album), When Forests Dream (a two-piano collaboration with Agustí Fernández), String Fables and Live in Munich (both in duo with Barry Guy) on ECM Records.
Along with Guy, Millà performs with musicians as diverse as Camila Nebbia, Mats Gustafsson, Dieb13, Vini Cajado, Maurizio Takara, Gonçalo Almeida, Almut Kühne, Wieland Möller, Kenji Herbert, Lucas Niggli, Axel Dörner, Sofia Labropoulou, Christian Reiner, and Lukas König, among others.
In 2024, Millà was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at the Jazz Prize Österreich, and in 2025 she won the BMKÖS Staatsstipendium für Komposition.
She is also the founder of PRISMA; an initiative and concert series that aims to make the discipline of improvisation more visible in the city of Salzburg.
