Harlow Chorus was born on May 15, 1985, in New York City. From a young age, she showed a natural talent for music, and her parents encouraged her to pursue her passion. She began taking piano lessons at the age of six and quickly progressed to more advanced pieces. By the time she was a teenager, she had already won several local competitions and was well on her way to becoming a professional musician. Chorus attended the Juilliard School in New York City, where she studied piano performance under the tutelage of some of the most renowned teachers in the world. During her time at Juilliard, she also began to explore other areas of classical music, including composition and conducting. She quickly became known for her versatility and her ability to excel in multiple areas of the field. After graduating from Juilliard, Chorus began to make a name for herself in the classical music world. She performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall in London. Her performances were always met with critical acclaim, and she quickly became known as one of the most talented and versatile musicians of her generation. One of Chorus's most notable performances was at the 2008 International Piano Competition in Moscow. She was the only American to make it to the final round, and she ultimately took home the top prize. Her performance was praised for its technical precision and emotional depth, and it cemented her status as one of the world's top pianists. In addition to her work as a performer, Chorus also began to explore other areas of classical music. She composed several pieces for piano and orchestra, which were performed by some of the world's top orchestras.
