One of her main aims as a composer has always been to write music which excites and moves an audience – not to say that she has embraced populism, but that her music often pulsates and dances, or allows the luxury of melody to dominate. Her music often draws together a number of different stylistic currents to make something totally new and original, for instance her recent (and extensive) cantata Yaldo draws upon Syrian folk music, the music of the Byzantine Church in the middle ages, free jazz, Hebrew cantillation & complex Stravinskian rhythms to create a compulsive and explosive sound world. With a background in electronic music production, it's not surprising to hear the influence of dance culture in her compositions often to the fore – as an example take the piece Badder Gyrations, an “urban orchestral riot” which grows into a growling dubsteb-flavoured groove, before fragmenting into a kaleidoscopic melee of broken and recycled funk and soul fragments, coming together into a pulsating trance beat. Flori particularly enjoys collaborating with other musicians and creative artists. She's found that her identity as a transgender woman (and the formative experiences involved in reaching that point) to have had a profound influence on her perspectives towards composition, and this is overtly referenced in some works, more subtle in others - but in all cases her interest in musical transformations is very evident to even a casual listener.

Flori has been recently working on a number of exciting projects, although many of her performances and premieres have been put on hold by the current global pandemic. She's currently working on a major commission with Strange Trace Opera - a new opera called Goliath, which will be recorded and filmed as part of the Stencils Festival in 2021. She's also collaborating with Fulham Brass Band as part of Sound and Music's very exciting "Adopt A Music Creator" program, and is composing in an ongoing participation with the NYC-based The Brass Project, in addition to new commissions from ORA Singers (a new piece called Vessel in collaboration with Tate Modern), the Villiers Quartet and the Hypotenuse Trio. She's also working on a new piece for 'cello and piano as part of the Psappha "Composing for..." program, and newly commissioned solo works for Lynn Henderson, Stephanie Frye-Clarke, Cort Reynolds and others. In addition she's working on the score to an upcoming short film...

Beside composing Flori also performs regularly as a freelance orchestral percussionist, teaches piano (for Berkshire Maestros), teaches music classes to A-Level (for St Bartholomew's School), conducts choirs & orchestras, accompanies choirs, shows & recitals (for example Newbury Childrens' Choir), sings with various chamber groups, produces arrangements for bands and orchestras of all abilities & plays piano & organ for church services around the local area.
