A Birmingham opththalmologist will headline the 2007-08 UAB Piano Series. Drew Mays, winner of the 2007 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, joins Roberto Plano and duo-pianists Christina and Michelle Naughton for the series.
Mays won the competition in June following a 15-year keyboard hiatus and second-place victory in the Rocky Mountain Amateur Piano Competition in 2006. Plano, a finalist at the regular (nonamateur) Van Cliburn competition in 2005, won first prize at the Cleveland International Piano Competition in 2001.

Jan. 27. Drew Mays.
