David Toub (b. 1961, Newark, NJ) has been described as a postminimalist composer. He combines a diverse background in medicine, composition, business and information technology. Initially trained as a violinist, he began composing while in junior high school in Millburn, NJ. Although primarily self-taught, he studied composition on weekends in New York City at the Mannes College of Music from 1975-1977 and at the Juilliard School of Music's Pre-College Division from 1977-1979.
