Family Music: Flutist Carlos Aguilar

August’s free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be held on Wednesday, August 9 at 7:00 PM in the library’s community room.

CARLOS AGUILAR returns to the Carmel Valley Library Concert series to present a program for solo flute. A recent Grand Prize Winner of the San Diego Musical Merit Foundation Competition, Aguilar is the first flutist in the organization’s 70 year history to win the top prize. His program will include Toshi Ichiyanagi’s In A Living Memory, a solo flute work that inspires the “unaccompanied” theme of his recital. His program will also feature works by Telemann, Berio Karg-Elert, and living composer Marcos Balter. In 2017, Carlos performed the Nielsen Flute Concerto with the La Jolla Symphony as first place winner of their 2015 Young Artist Competition. Currently studying in Boston at the New England Conservatory with celebrated flutist Ms. Paula Robison, Carlos recently toured with the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in Latin America. The Boston Intelligencer noted his recent performance of the Romance by Saint-Saens with the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra: "he pulled delicious tones of taffy from his gleaming gold wand. The burnished sound poured forth in unbroken arcs of molten seduction. "
