周曉晴

Award-winning composer and coloratura soprano Lora Chow is celebrated for her cross-cultural musical innovation. Born in Hong Kong, she graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a double major in Music and Economics, subsequently refining her craft under Hollywood composers Christopher Young, Patrick Kirst, and Lawrence Shragge.

Chow’s pioneering compositions – spanning orchestral, chamber, vocal, and film genres have lyrical melodies in a unique voice. Her works have been premiered by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (Exsultate, Jubilate, 2018; Sympathy, 2019; Awakening for Soprano/Piano/Harp and Orchestra, 2024; Sleepless Moon Medley, 2025), Orchestra della Toscana (film score The Notting Hill Finale), Sofia Sinfonietta, and Budapest Scoring Orchestra. Universal Edition publishes her scores, while Prima Classic releases her piano recordings. Her major works include the musical Dr. Clown, the East-West opera Sleepless Moon, Cantonese opera Ambush from All Sides, and piano albums Reveries on Ivories and Pursuits from the Roots.

Her accolades include the Chigiana Film Scoring Award for Best Storytelling (2024), CASH Golden Sail Award Top 5 Best Young Composer, Cole Porter Fellowship in Music and Theater, Anita Hewitt-Jones Composition Prize, and Louis Sudler Creative and Performing Arts Award.

Chow was the former Associate Music Director at Shanghai Disney. She appears as Soprano Fellow with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Her operatic roles have included Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro) and Isabella (L’Italiana in Algeri). She toured across continents with Yale Schola Cantorum under Maestro Masaaki Suzuki and Simon Carrington.

Chow has co-founded Virtuoso Fiesta and the Yale Alumni Chamber Music Society of Hong Kong, serves as Vice-Chairwoman of SingFest, and is a member of the Hong Kong Government’s LCSD Programme and Development Committee.
