      Dear friends, in last December I’ve completed a live remote recording
session of my orchestral score to the Yo Yo Flamingo animated scene in Disney’s
1940 film Fantasia. The score was recorded with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra
via Musiversal in a 20 minutes timeframe on Dec. 4th, 2023 as part of the shared
session with 11 other talented NYU scoring graduates. I was blown away the
outstanding musicianship of everyone at BSO for navigating the score in such a
short time. With this experience working with the musicians in Budapest
remotely, I am realizing the potentials of conducting remote recording sessions
to elevate my music production to a new height, and all of this is very
achievable with efficient planning of time and budget! Stay tuned for more
future project!

TONY ZHENG | COMPOSER

TONY ZHENG is a composer based in New York City whose music spans concert works,
films, animations, video game scores, multimedia installation artworks, and
music production and technology. His sound is defined by a flowing sense of
elegance, balancing lushness and gravity, a subtle handling of timbre and
resonance, and visceral dramatic impact. His musical languages range from
instrumental solos to orchestral suites, spanning genres across romantic
concertos to contemporary classical, jazz, and pops. His electronic music and
sound design is galvanized by the cutting-edge aspects of the Drum and Bass
world. He is widely recognized by his peers and mentors as a talented musician
with great musicality and technicality whose works are innovative, incorporating
contemporary extended techniques and production technology.


Born in Shanghai, China, he is a classically trained pianist who began playing
at the age of five. After moving overseas to the U.S. in 2014 to further his
academic pursuits, he won first prize in the New England Young Artist Piano
Competition, a testament to his musicianship. He received his bachelor degree
with summa cum laude honors, majoring in economics and music, from University of
Rochester in 2022, where he studied under award-winning faculty members Robert
LaVaque and Stephen Roessner. He finished his master degree in Music Theory and
Composition: Screen Scoring at New York University Steinhardt, mentored by
Professor Mark Suozzo.

During his education, he collaborated with student directors at NYU Tisch on a
number of short films including “What’d I miss,” and worked with game developers
at NYU Game Center extensively on interactive music production. His
collaboration efforts also extend to installation arts. In 2021, he produced the
accompanying music for multimedia artwork titled “On Chinese Gardens” and a
large-scale glass installation titled “Lucid Water and Lush Mountain” in The
Grand Halls in Shanghai.
