I attended the free Vienna Teng concert at Bol Park in Palo Alto last night. For those who have never heard of her, Vienna earned a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, only to forgo software engineering for a career in music. Awesome performance. I’m always excited to see successful Asian Americans in careers other than medicine, law or engineering. Not that I have anything against doctors, lawyers or engineers, but I believe these artists, journalists, writers, actors, chefs, etc. all enrich our collective culture and experience. I’ve been listening to her music for some time (iTunes), but the concert was the first time I heard her live. She sounds very different live. She sang with a deeper and richer voice than I was used to.
