Who:  Charlie Albright

Charlie Albright is the winner of the prestigious 2010 Gilmore Young Artist Award and the 2009 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. His 2010-2011 season of debuts concluded to critical acclaim, he was hailed as being “among the most gifted musicians of his generation” (Washington Post) whose "impressive range of differently colored sounds at the keyboard was matched by overwhelming virtuosity."  The New York Times praised his “jaw-dropping technique," "intelligently wrought interpretation" and "virtuosity meshed with a distinctive musicality."  Mr. Albright made his New York and Kennedy Center recital debuts on the Young Concert Artists Series and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Orchestral debuts included the San Francisco Symphony with conductor Alondra de la Parra, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra with conductor Gerard Schwarz, and the Boston Pops with conductor Keith Lockhart. 

Born in Centralia, Washington, Mr. Albright studied at the Harvard College/New England Conservatory of Music joint program, where he completed his Bachelor’s degree as a premed and Economics major in 2011.  He is now pursuing a Master of Music degree in Piano Performance at the New England Conservatory of Music, with Wha-Kyung Byun.
