Jonathan Tunick

JONATHAN TUNICK (Orchestrations/ Conductor)

was Stephen Sondheim's favored orchestrator, scoring nearly all of his musicals. A native New Yorker, he attended the High School of Music and Art, Bard College and Juilliard, studying composition with Vittorio Giannini; and conducting with Jorge Mester and Harold Farberman. In 1997 he received the first orchestration Tony for Titanic, elevating him to "EGOT" (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status. In 2009 he was inducted into Broadway's Theatre Hall of Fame.

Still at the height of his considerable talent, Tunick continued to have a presence in New York's theaters’ community. In the past three years, his original orchestration for Sweeney Todd was heard on Broadway for the first time since the original production closed. At the request of The Sondheim Trust, he orchestrated his closest professional collaborator's final work for theater. In the last two years, Tunick became the first orchestrator to have his show at caricature placed on the wall of Sardi's. He won a second Tony Award, and wrote a large scale orchestration for one of Sondheim's beloved shows, A Little Night Music, in order to encourage symphony orchestras of North America to elevate the importance of our nation's most significant contribution to the annals of music and theater. Tunick conducted the Orchestra of St. Luke's and a peerless cast led by opera great Susan Graham, Ruthie Ann Miles, and Cynthia Erivo in four ecstatically received performances at Lincoln Center.

Next year will see the release of Tunick's long awaited memoir, to be published by Simon and Schuster.
