Our season opener is a contemporary classical music virtuoso, effortlessly improvising his original
compositions as part of his refreshing approach to classical piano. Expect to be surprised and leave with a renewed love of music. Charlie Albright will be improvising a brand new piece (or two) for this fun, interactive performance. The show will marry classical music, improvised contemporary covers, and new compositions created on the spot, all performed with Charlie’s signature humor and high energy!

Internationally award-winning pianist, composer, and improviser Charlie Albright brings music to everyone and breaks the “classical” rules of music by connecting with audiences like no other. Through his music, speaking, and unique improvisations that bring music to life, he crosses all genres…and makes it fun.

Hailed as “among the most gifted musicians of his generation” with a “dazzling natural keyboard affinity” who “made quite an impression” by the Washington Post, American pianist, composer, and improviser Charlie Albright has been praised for his “jaw-dropping technique and virtuosity meshed with a distinctive musicality” by The New York Times, and his “extravagance that had showmanship but never felt cheap” with his “ease and smoothness that refuses to airbrush the music, but animates it from within” by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and Gilmore Young Artist Award, Albright won the Ruhr Klavier Festival Young Artist Award presented by Marc-André Hamelin (Germany) and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions.  In addition to performing, Albright is sought after as a speaker, masterclass instructor, teacher, and competition judge.  His debut commercial recording, Vivace, has sold thousands of copies worldwide and the first two parts of a 3-part Schubert Series of live, all-Schubert recordings was released in 2017 and 2020.
