Chamber Music

Explore Miguel del Aguila’s chamber music from solo works and duos, to quartets, quintets and other chember ensembles instrumentations.

“Miguel del Aguila’s chamber music is that rarest of things: unmistakably modern music built around a core of fundamental grace.” – CD Hotlist

“With a 1940’s big band style dance frenzy…the piece is a fascinating and compelling soundscape. Urgently driven by Latin rhythms, the desperate dance is finally overwhelmed by the orchestration’s sinister edge and driven to an explosive climax. – Santa Barbara News-Press
