Whitney Sheng is a New York and Miami-based composer whose work is informed by a sensitivity to texture, gesture, and timbre. Often drawing inspiration from visual art, her music inhabits spaces where beauty and unease coexist, blending whimsy and omen through shifting sonic landscapes.

Her compositions have been performed by KLK String Orchestra, Divergent Trio, institut .abeceda, NYC Brass Choir, and Zephyr Brass Collective, as well as soloists Dr. Carla Rees, Emma Meinrenken, Joseph Staten, and Abrielle Scott, with performances throughout the United States and Europe. Her work has been presented at venues and festivals including the Lviv Philharmonic, Nottingham Contemporary, the Heidelberg New Music Festival, Bled Contemporary Music Week and Festival, Divergent Studio, and FOU Gallery.

Whitney is a composer with the South Florida Composer Performer Collective and the founder of the Common Resonance Concert Series, which expands audiences for contemporary classical music through interdisciplinary programming and provides a platform for living composers; the series has produced sold-out performances across New York City.

She holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Wellesley College, where she graduated summa cum laude.
