Jonathan Tunick (born 19 April 1938) is an orchestrator, musical director and composer, who is a member of that small group of artists who have won all four major American performing awards: the Tony, Oscar, Emmy and Grammy. The bulk of his work has arisen from his involvement in theatre, and he is associated especially with the musicals of Stephen Sondheim.
He was born in New York City and is married to actress Leigh Beery.
