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, and took her stage name “Vienna” from the Austrian city famous for its musical history.

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 three studio albums, Waking Hour (2002), Warm Strangers (2004), and Dreaming Through The Noise (2006).

I wonder that too O__o" Passage is absolutely a masterpiece, probably my favourite.

"Passage" isn't on the list of top tracks?? Truly a tragedy. Anyone who hears and actually listens to "Passage" will agree that Vienna's songwriting skills are extraordinary and without peer. The song is beautiful, heart-wrenching, and masterfully sung—and her others are pretty awesome, too. Hooray for great music! =)

@yani5952: The only song I know sung in any other language than English is "Green Island Serenade" (绿岛小夜曲), as far as I heard it's Chinese (Mandarin).

Hello, I believe here are many lovers of Vienna's music. Can you tell me if she has any songs sung in Chinese? :)

I love this woman....I just listened to "Homecoming" and jst a lttle thing as how she pronounce the three words " pizza parlor pinball" makes me cry tears of joy. So many other artists could learn from her.

I so agree with you 0mgz0rz! In my opinion, Vienna Teng's version of Cannonball blows Damien Rice's out of the water. It's absolutely beautiful.

Totally agreeable with Cannonball. Oh her sweet angelic voice is so much to yearn for.

Vienna is straight up awesome - saw her play at C. Donatiello Winery a while back and she made a sunny day in CA wine country just about perfect.

Her cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball is amazing.

She is one of those angels that live inside of anyone's heart. She makes me dream through the noise. I can't love more that woman and her sweet, strong, delicated and divine voice.

My Medea is one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard!

She's no.1 on my wish list of people I want to see live - I knew she was playing in London a few months ago and really wanted to go but I couldn't afford the £100 return ticket, therefore, I was bitterly dissapointed. One day :(

Oooooooh...found her by way of Lily Holbrook's page. She sounds so much like someone...but I can't figure out who >_< (it's not Tori though) Both she and her music are beautiful.
