Charlie Albright (Korean: 찰리 박 올브라이트; born 1988 or 1989[1]) is an American pianist and composer.[2] He is an official Steinway Artist,[3] 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant Recipient,[4] 2010 Gilmore Young Artist (2010) and former Young Concert Artist.[5] He graduated from Harvard College (AB) and the New England Conservatory (MM) as the first classical pianist in the schools' five-year AB/MM Joint Program, was named the Leverett House Artist in Residence for 2011–2012, and was one of the 15 Most Interesting Seniors of the Harvard College Class of 2011.[6] He graduated from the Juilliard School of Music with his post-graduate Artist Diploma (AD) in 2014.[7]
Albright is a frequent collaborator with Yo-Yo Ma. The New York Times has praised "the accomplished pianist Charlie Albright"[8] and his "jaw-dropping technique," describing his playing as "virtuosity with a distinctive musicality throughout."[1] The New York Concert Review wrote that Albright's playing is "as good as it gets."[9]The Washington Post declared that "Albright is among the most gifted musicians of his generation."[10] The Philadelphia Inquirer published that "his personality was evident in his way of shaping a phrase with a kind of extravagance that had showmanship but never felt cheap. With a fresh, clean, crystalline sound, he played with a kind of ease and smoothness that refuses to airbrush the music, but animates it from within. [He] brought the art of classical-music improvisation to a new level."[11] Albright lives in Seattle and in New York City.
