April Clayton and Miguel del Aguila Recital
Saturday October 18, 2025 | 7:00pm
In-person | Free admission
Flutist April Clayton and composer Miguel del Aguila are joining us here at our shop to perform music from their newly released album, Torrential Raindance. This album presents a compelling collection of new works for flute and piano by three-time Grammy-nominated composer Miguel del Aguila, performed by acclaimed flutist April Clayton and del Aguila himself on piano. Featuring five distinct pieces, this album takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and styles. From the whimsical, spontaneous interplay of "Piano Rolls Flute" to the dramatic depiction of a rain-summoning ritual in "Torrential Raindance," and the introspective melancholy of "Silence," each composition showcases del Aguila's unique ability to blend lyrical themes with vibrant, rhythmically complex Latin elements. The album also includes the dynamic "Malambo," inspired by same-named Argentine folk dance, and the multi-faceted "Sonata Flautisima," which explores a transition from a solitary, rainy night to a lively, sunlit day through inventive melodies and extended techniques that push the limits of both: flute and flutist. This collection highlights both Clayton's exceptional technical prowess and del Aguila's innovative compositional voice, offering a rich and engaging listening experience.
