Miguel del Aguila

www.migueldelaguila.com Three-time Grammy nominated Miguel del Aguila wrote over 130 works which enjoy hundreds of worldwide, yearly performances. His music, recorded on 62 albums to date, has been hailed as “brilliant and witty” (New York Times), “sonically dazzling” (LATimes) and “expressive and dramatic” (American Record Guide). “I strive to write music that is sincere and that stirs intense emotions in the performer and the listener. Music that expresses my humanity, my times, my geography and my Latin heritage. Often rhythmically driven and virtuosic, I’m always concerned with its dramatic effectiveness. I don’t think in terms of trends or current styles of composition. The story that my music is telling determines its sound and form”. Performed by over a hundred orchestras and thousands of ensembles worldwide, his works have been described by the press as “dependably brilliant” – The New Yorker Magazine, “disarmingly genial” – San Francisco Sentinel, and as music “with near to obsessive vitality” – Wiener Zeitung, Vienna.
