About
The Composer Behind the Score
A musical journey shaped by film, symphony, and a belief that sound shapes story.

International composer based in Los Angeles, California.
Flora Cheng earned her Bachelor of Music in Composition from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In April 2026, she proudly premiered Moth, performed by the Downey Symphony Orchestra. This four-movement symphonic work captures the dramatic journey of a moth, with an intricate composition that engages the imagination and captivates audiences.
