The Aglow Trio performance starts with Tony Rodriguez’s “Untitled 1,” a technology inspired piece that feels intentionally unpredictable and disjointed. Then it moves into the second movement of Alyssa Morris’s “Eternities,” which draws on Native American musical influences and has a wide, open, new-world kind of atmosphere. Miguel del Aguilo’s “Seduction Dance” brings more pulse and motion, shifting the energy forward. Amanda Harburg’s “Aria” follows with a clearer, more singable line that smooths things out. The program wraps up with the third movement of Madeleine Dring’s “Trio,” finishing on a light, active note.
