Life and career
Cynthia Yih Shih (born October 3, 1978, Saratoga, California), better known by her stage name Vienna Teng, is a Taiwanese-American pianist and singer-songwriter based in Detroit, Michigan. Teng has released five studio albums: ‘Waking Hour’ (2002), ‘Warm Strangers’ (2004), ‘Dreaming Through the Noise’ (2006), ‘Inland Territory’ (2009) and ‘Aims’ (2013). She has also released one live album, ‘The Moment Always Vanishing’ (2009), on which she is double-billed with her percussionist, Alex Wong.
Teng's musical style incorporates folk, pop, classical piano, and ‘a cappella’. She uses piano as her primary instrument and writes lyrics with emotion, narrative, and personal history.
In 2010, Teng announced to her fans that she had been accepted into the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan. Through the program, she received an MBA from the Ross School of Business and an MS from the School of Natural Resources and Environment. During this period, Teng moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she continued to perform and compose music, although she did not tour as frequently as she had before enrolling.
Teng's fifth studio album, titled ‘Aims’, was released in September 2013. From September to December 2013 Teng went on a tour across the United States and Western Europe to promote the new material. During this tour, she performed as a trio with Alex Wong and Jordan Hamlin, two other musicians who appeared on the album. The album, including various deluxe versions, is available via her official site.
‘Aims’ received four awards in the thirteenth annual Independent Music Awards: Adult Contemporary Album, A Cappella Song (for "The Hymn of Acxiom"), Pop Song (for "Level Up"), and Social Action Song (for "Level Up"). This was the first time an artist received four awards in one year.
In summer 2014, Drum Corps International performing ensembles the Bluecoats and the Oregon Crusaders used Aims track "The Hymn of Acxiom" in their respective productions.
In November 2014, the Virtual Choir Friends group released a virtual choir performance of the song, featuring 58 singers from 12 countries.
Single"The Fourth Messenger" ( with Tanya Shaffer) was released in 2015.
Vienna Teng performed live in Stanford on July 2016.
