The concert presented by the University Singers, focusing on the Three Laws of Robotics and featuring the music of Vienna Teng, promises to be a thought-provoking and unique experience.

By centering their performance around a piece composed by Taiwanese-American musician Vienna Teng, the choir adds an artistic and contemporary dimension to this science fiction theme.
