Listen Later

What does it really mean to follow your heart—without losing your head? 

Lora Chow shares how her music venture, Virtuoso Fiesta, brings classical music to new audiences while keeping its soul intact. She opens up about funding live concerts, launching her new album Reveries on Ivories, and composing as a form of storytelling. This is more than a career pivot—it’s a case study in blending logic and intuition, technology and art, structure and spirit.

Whether you’re chasing harmony or still stuck in the noise, Lora’s story will tune you back in.
