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

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.
