Vienna Teng (born Cynthia Yih Shih on October 3, 1978) is a Taiwanese American pianist and singer-songwriter based in New York City. She began studying classical piano at the age of 5. She took her stage name “Vienna” from the Austrian city famous for its musical history, and “Teng” from the surname of famous Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng.

Teng’s musical style incorporates folk, pop, classical piano, and a cappella influences. She uses piano as her primary instrument and charges her lyrics with emotion, narrative, and personal history. Teng is a baseline alto but sings over a wide range.

Teng has released four studio albums: Waking Hour (2002), Warm Strangers (2004), Dreaming Through The Noise (2006), and Inland Territory (2009).

I'm going to see her live next month! :D (I have to brag because I don't go to a lot of concerts in general, though I wish I did).

The chick with piano thing get's old very fast but Vienna here takes it to an entirely different level. Her albums need a 'Premium Quality' sticker of sorts.

Happy birthday [2] It was just today I've been struck by the overflowing beauty of 'Passage'. I was already taken by it, but today I've finally come to terms with it's intensity.

It'll always amaze me how her music is instantly recognisable from album to album, yet each one is still obviously different. She's a master of the understated. :)
