He was taking a break from an eight-concert tour of Germany, where he was conducting a symphonic version of &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; music. His phone rang. Suddenly he had a new engagement a mere week away: two concerts with the Charlotte Symphony. When you&#8217;re an ambitious 29-year-old conductor, you&#8217;re flexible. Tonight and Saturday, Grams fills in for the Charlotte Symphony&#8217;s Christof Perick, who bowed out because of an illness in his family. There&#8217;s more at stake than concerts. Perick steps down as the orchestra&#8217;s music director in 2009, and Grams&#8217; visit adds him to the mix of potential successors. Four candidates will lead concerts next season, and others will follow.
