About us

Hemiòlia is a chamber music group formed by Jordi Bonilla Julià (oboe) and Paula Martí Fandos (piano). Their main motivation is to delve into the chamber music repertoire and enjoy music, exploring pieces that range from the baroque to the present day.


Hemiòlia, a technical musical term that refers to the substitution of two ternary metric units with three binary ones, perfectly defines the nature of this chamber group to form both a duo and a trio, offering the possibility of incorporating a third member at certain times.


Artistic Proposals: Hemiòlia has created several innovative and multidisciplinary shows, combining classical music with other styles, audiovisual elements, and theater:


  • Layla, a journey of hope: A reflective show on immigration that integrates live music with electronic sounds and audiovisual projections.
  • Cavernus – a musical evolution: A theatrical sound journey with a lot of humor that covers different eras and musical styles.
  • Layla – the storyteller: A family show that fuses music, narration, and illustrations to create an immersive experience.


Discography:

  • Layla - a journey of hope
    • Available on Spotify: Listen here
    • Description: This album includes the set of pieces by Manuel de Falla that appear in the show Layla – a journey of hope.


This profile highlights the dedication of the members of Hemiòlia as musicians and educators, showcasing their passion for teaching, innovation in musical performances, and their ability to inspire through musical excellence and pedagogy.
