About Thomas Hewitt Jones
Thomas Hewitt Jones is a composer of Contemporary Classical music, and commercial music for film and television. He is rapidly becoming known for his highly tonal yet very contemporary style.

Thomas has won numerous prizes as a composer, including the BBC Proms/Guardian composition competition, and an award from Sibelius Music.

At the age of 18, he premiered his own organ concerto at a sold out St John's, Smith Square, where he received a standing ovation. He has since composed many pieces of music including 'Silent Moon' and 'Fantasy', which were both broadcast on BBC Radio 3, the latter as part of a BBC Proms Chamber Concert.

Thomas' work 'Kaizen Studies' was commissioned and performed by Ensemble CB3 in Cambridge, and his first major work for orchestra, 'War', was premiered at the Royal Festival Hall in 2004. He has since written several works that have appeared at major venues including London's South Bank Centre.

Thomas has composed many pieces of film and radio music and a full showreel will be available later in 2007.
