Zoe Lo

I am a violinist, educator, and arts entrepreneur with a dual-degree background in Violin Performance and Arts Management & Entrepreneurship from the Mannes School of Music at The New School. My work spans performance, original composition, music education, and technology-driven music production, with original compositions performed in professional concert settings in New York and Georgia. I have extensive experience leading music programs, organizing events, and integrating digital tools into music education and audience engagement.

More recently, my work has expanded into interdisciplinary projects connecting music with healthcare and pediatric communities, where I design and deliver music-based programs aimed at emotional well-being, engagement, and healing. These experiences have deepened my interest in the intersection of music, technology, management, and creative entrepreneurship, particularly in developing innovative, socially impactful music initiatives.
