Zarzowski is an internationally recognized composer whose work blends classical composition with innovative computer music, creating evocative scores for film, television, opera, and contemporary ensembles. Educated in music composition and computer music in Poland and Germany, Zarzowski further honed his craft under Maestro Elliott Carter during a 2003 contemporary composition master class in New York City. His global perspective is reflected in commissions for prestigious organizations and festivals worldwide.
In 2008, Zarzowski composed Nunc Licet, a 15-minute work for cello, violin, piano, and electronics, for the San Diego UHA Arts Festival. That same year, the Budapest Academy in Hungary invited him to a composition master class, where he was commissioned to write s-Hertogenbosch for violin, viola, cello, piano, clarinet, and flute for the Contemporary Classical Almere Dutch Sextet. In 2009, the Hispanic Theatre of San Diego and founder Jesus Sierra Oliva commissioned Songs & Arias for La Divina, an opera celebrating Maria Callas.
Since 2008, Zarzowski has collaborated with modern dance choreographers and schools in Poland, creating dynamic scores that fuse classical and electronic elements. In 2009, he began composing for a major Los Angeles studio, contributing music for commercial film and television projects where he currently ghostwrites for a composer and produces Library Music for Film/TV Sync. In 2014, he was named Composer in Residence for the STEIN 2.0 concert series, where he premieres original works With The Neave Trio. Since 2015, Zarzowski has served as Artistic Director of the non-profit organization STEIN 2.0, championing innovative music and interdisciplinary collaborations.
