Guest Conductor Lawrence Isaacson joins Longwood Symphony Orchestra to present 22 year-old pianist Charlie Albright in his Boston debut. Winner of the 2010 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Albright performs Piano Concerto No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Shostakovich composed this work to celebrate his son Maxim's 19th birthday, who premiered the concerto at the Moscow Conservatory.   Austrian composer Franz Schreker had his first great compositional success at the age of 23 with Intermezzo, which won an important composition competition at the Vienna Conservatory.  Edward Elgar's beloved Enigma Variations, composed as odes to dear friends, and Malcolm Arnold's Tam O'Shanter complete the evening of Youth and Friendship.
