#290 Lora Chow: Reveries from the Trading Floor to the Concert Hall — Part Two


Listen Later

In Part 2, Lora walks us through the why behind her return to music full-time. From co-founding Virtuoso Fiesta to launching her album Reveries on Ivories, she shares how composition became her storytelling tool—and how she sees music not just as art, but as a way to build peace, shift perspectives, and maybe even fix broken systems.

This isn’t a story about following your passion. It’s a story about building the courage to lead with it.

Why She Finally Left Finance

“The market felt irrational. Music didn’t.” 

When external chaos pushes you inward.

Starting a Movement (Not Just a Company)

“We wanted to make classical music feel joyful—not stiff.” 

How Virtuoso Fiesta became a playground for artistic freedom.

Composing for Change

“Music connects people—across language, across class. That’s its superpower.” 

Why she writes music that talks back.

AI, Creativity, and Human Touch

“AI can help me transcribe. But it can’t feel what I feel.” 

How she uses tech without losing the soul.

Belief Beats Strategy

“You need pen, paper, and confidence.” The advice that stuck—and how she teaches herself to trust her intuition.
