Inspired by musical communities across Canada and influenced by opera, philosophy, improvisation, literature, and film; Toronto-based composer, vocalist, bandleader, and multi-media artist Tristan Zaba’s music breaks boundaries of genre and form. From his rock albums to his chamber work; Tristan’s work questions itself, its audience members, and its performers through the use of reference and quotation.

Zaba has performed and had pieces premiered at festivals such as Orford Musique, the Winnipeg New Music Fest, the Brandon New Music Festival, and Casse Tête. Ensembles that have performed Tristan’s pieces include the University of Manitoba Singers, The Quatuor Bozzini, and the University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra. He is the 2018-2019 Composer in Residence for the University of Toronto’s MacMillan Singers, and is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree under Christos Hatzis. He earned a Bachelor's of Music degree from the University of Manitoba under Gordon Fitzell.
