Large-scale works include the Christmas cantata Incarnation, released on Regent Records, and Panathenaia – a Symphony in Stone, which received a premiere in acclaimed violinist Hugo Ticciati’s O/Modernt festival in Stockholm, followed by a UK premiere in the British Museum; both works have libretti by writer Paul Williamson.

Thomas’s work in the commercial field has included work in America and scores for films in the UK, as well as music for the London 2012 Olympics Mascots animated films, with stories by Michael Morpurgo and narration by Stephen Fry. Thomas has also composed the music for a new musical version of Rumpelstiltskin which premiered at The Egg, Bath, in December 2014; the show has since enjoyed four other productions, including most recently a Germany tour in a new production produced by Musical Creations Entertainment. Thomas is currently working on two new musicals with Matt Harvey – SWIMBY (a sustainable musical) and a secret project which we aren’t able to talk about yet!

His most recent projects include Divertimento for Strings, commissioned by Lucy Melvin to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of her ‘Chamber Players’ courses, and a new organ piece, Defeating Lucifer, commissioned by the Exeter & District Organists’ Association to mark their centenary in 2020 and due to be premiered by Thomas Trotter in Exeter Cathedral in 2021 or 2022. Thomas has also recently completed a large choral commission, Seasons, for Sheringham & Cromer Choral Society.

He is also a composer of Library (Production) music for several commercial publishers, with a current catalogue of around a thousand tracks available for licensing which can be heard on a variety of media worldwide. He works from his own cutting-edge studio facility.

Thomas married his Italian wife Annalisa in 2020, and lives in South London. https://www.thomashewittjones.com/
