Welcome to the website of Jay Alan Zimmerman, the composer, author, and multimedia artist. 


Working with Broadway singers, artists, dancers, aerialists, videographers, and even musical robots, Jay creates heartfelt and whimsical works about the contradictions of life, the extraordinary hidden in the mundane, and the fascinating we all hope to discover.


His songs & shows have been performed by the leads of Wicked, Tarzan, Next To Normal, Phantom of the Opera, and many other hit shows by singers such as Lisa Brescia, Kevin Massey, Kara Lindsay, William Paul Michals, Angel Desai, Cheryl Alexander, Raissa Katona Bennett, and many many other wonderful vocalists.  For more info click on musicals and songs.


At the same time, his classical and experimental works for dance, aerial, film, plays, and art installations have been presented in prestigious museums and performance spaces throughout the Americas and Europe including the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  To find out more about these projects, click on visual music & movement and instrumental.
