A Musical and Interactive Evening With Peter Buffett at the Hong Kong Apple Store

Warren’s son comes to town to play first Apple Store concert.

Peter Buffet came to town to play his very first Apple Store! The son of the famous investor Warren Buffet, he put on an interesting music concert mixed with interactive talk piece in Hong Kong this past Tuesday.

Buffet spoke to us about how Apple helps him create music digitally (on a Mac Pro tower with Qbase) and how he uses his iPhone (3GS!) to jot down notes and use as a scratchpad. His book Life Is What You Make It: Find Your Own Path to Fulfillment has been translated into 14 languages and is available in Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

Having gone to Stanford with Apple’s former VP of Retail, Ron Johnson, Peter was invited to perform here at the Hong Kong Apple store much to the delight of journalists and the evening shoppers at the IFC Mall.

He told us his father encouraged him to do what he loves and not necessarily follow him into finance and to do what his passion was. And it seems in those terms, father and son are in the exact same line of business.

For the latest Hong Kong Apple Store events stay tuned to this page at the official Apple site. More on Peter Buffet at his site here.

And in true form, they put on quite a show – here we look back at one of the most exciting tech events to ever hit Hong Kong in photos:
