Fifi Zhang is an American pianist based in New York City. She made her debut with the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic at age 11, playing the Saint-Saens G minor Concerto, and has since played in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Park Avenue Armory, Miller Theatre, Joyce Theatre, and concert halls throughout Canada, Finland, Spain, Korea, and Poland. She has a keen interest in performing both traditional and contemporary classical music and has premiered numerous solo and chamber works by living composers. She has worked closely with composers such as Meredith Monk, Frederic Rzewski, John Harbison, and Gabriela Lena Frank. An alumnus of the Columbia-Juilliard Exchange, Fifi holds a BA in History from Columbia University and an MM in Piano Performance from Juilliard. Her teachers have included Marjorie Lee, Julian Martin, Matti Raekallio, Pavlina Dokovska, and Ursula Oppens. She is currently a doctoral candidate at CUNY Graduate Center where she is working on a critical examination of classical music performance practice through a phenomenological lens. She is also on faculty as a music history instructor at Hunter College.
