The strange quark mass is determined from a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) optimized to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the hadronic resonance sector. As a result, the main uncertainty in this determination is due to the value of Lambda(QCD). The correlator of axial-vector divergences is used in perturbative QCD to five-loop order, including quark and gluon condensate contributions, in the framework of both Fixed Order (FOPT), and Contour Improved Perturbation Theory (CIPT). The latter exhibits very good convergence, leading to a remarkably stable result in the very wide range s(0) = 1.0-4.0 GeV2, where s0 is the radius of the integration contour in the complex energy (squared) plane. The value of the strange quark mass in this framework at a scale of 2GeV is m(s)(2 GeV) = 95 +/- 5 (111 +/- 6) MeV for Lambda(QCD) = 420 (330) MeV, respectively.
