The University of Alabama at Birmingham will present pianist Fei-Fei Dong on Sunday, March 23, as part of the UAB Piano Series.

The UAB Piano Series brings the world’s finest pianists to Birmingham. The series, presented by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Music, is directed by Distinguished Professor of Piano and Artist-in-Residence Yakov Kasman, DMA, a Van Cliburn medalist.

A soloist, recitalist and chamber musician on world stages, the pianist, who goes by Fei-Fei, conjures a special and undeniable connectivity with her audiences. On the program are Claude Debussy’s “Suite bergamasque,” Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Variations on a Theme of Corelli, op. 42, “Vers la vie nouvelle” by Nadia Boulanger and Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor. She appears by arrangement with the Cliburn Agency.

The performance will be at 4 p.m., in UAB’s Alys Stephens Center. Tickets are $15; $5 for students through grade 12 and UAB employees; free to UAB students. Visit AlysStephens.org or call 205-975-2787.

Born in Shenzhen, China, Fei-Fei began piano lessons at the age of 5 and gave her first recital at age 10; this was followed three years later by her orchestral debut with the Macau Youth Symphony Orchestra. She has since made debuts in Alice Tully Hall and the Louvre Auditorium, and with the Aspen Music Festival, Hong Kong, Juilliard, Shanxi and Shenzhen Symphony

Orchestras. Fei-Fei was featured prominently as a Cliburn finalist in the documentary film “Virtuosity,” about the 2013 Cliburn Competition. She is a first-prize winner of competitions including the Schumann International Piano Competition for Young Musicians, the Asia-Pacific International Chopin Piano Competition, and the 65th Steinway & Sons

International Youth Piano Competition.

Her recent projects include artist-in-residence with the Baden-Baden Philharmonic touring in Germany, a Carnegie Hall performance and tour of Spain with the New York Youth Symphony, a cross-disciplinary collaboration with Ballet Arkansas, a performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 at Lincoln Center with the Pegasus Symphony, and a 19-city tour of China with Aletheia Piano Trio, which she founded.

Fei-Fei is a member of the piano faculty at John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University and teaching associate to pianist Yefim Bronfman at Manhattan School of Music.
