Sanctuary Series Fei-Fei in South Salem: A winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition, Fei-Fei made her Carnegie hall debut in 2019. Fei-Fei’s program entitled “The Art of Storytelling” features Beethoven, Schumann, Debussy and Liszt. Our post recital Artist Reception will feature a champagne toast for Mother’s Day.
