Support Elizabeth's organization of choice Little Wanderers NYC https://www.instagram.com/littlewanderersnyc/

Little Wanderers NYC is an animal rescue service rescuing/TNR’ing the neediest cats in the toughest areas of NYC- focus on the Bronx. It is a grassroots community that Elizabeth spent some time volunteering with.

Elizabeth Tsung is a super talented and successful violinist, pianist and composer. Elizabeth has played at Carnegie Hall, The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, Kaufman Music Center, The Riverside Church, The Church of St. Francis Xavier, Kerrytown Concert House, Hill Auditorium, The University of Michigan Museum of Art and more. Elizabeth is a Taiwanese American with immigrants from Taiwan and she grew up not feeling Asian American and it was only recently when she saw that she was indeed Asian American, making her feel like a lost Asian these days. 

In our conversation, we talked about her upbringing (family pressure, learning music, and more), her music career journey, the car accident that changed her life, and her experience living with mental health illness (borderline personality disorder)

Please go check out Elizabeth and her music! She's super cool and talented. Let's support Asian American musicians!

WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? PODCAST supports the Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 education campaign We Can Do This efforts to increase education and awareness about COVID-19 vaccines. Whether due to language barriers or lack of access to healthcare, many Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders face unique challenges to getting accurate vaccine information. We hope that amplifying these resources, especially in other languages, will help reach and protect our most vulnerable communities. Please visit VACCINES.gov for more information.
