Thomas Hewitt Jones is an award-winning composer of both concert and commercial music. Winner of the 2003 BBC Young Composer Competition, Thomas has since had numerous pieces performed, broadcast and published. Thomas' ballet, vocal and instrumental music, in particular, is highly acclaimed. He has also worked in Hollywood. Thomas' music is published by Oxford University Press, Faber Music, ABRSM, Novello & Co, Universal Music, Banks Music Publications and Encore Publications as well as Boosey & Hawkes.

From 2010-12 Thomas composed and produced the music for the four animated Mascot Films for London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, narrated by Stephen Fry, with stories by Michael Morpurgo. 2012 also saw the premiere of The Same Flame, published by Boosey & Hawkes and released on Vivum Records, a thirty-five-minute choral work based on the Olympic values with lyrics by distinguished poet and broadcaster, Matt Harvey.

In December 2012 The Hallé Orchestra performed A Christmas Cracker at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester; the piece was then premiered in Canada and the USA, and played on Classic FM. Also in December 2012, Sloane Square Choral Society gave the world premiere performance of Incarnation - A Suite of Songs for Christmas (with lyrics by Paul Williamson), a modern approach to the Christmas story, commissioned by SSCS and The de Laszlo Foundation.

First performed and recorded in 2013, Formation was commissioned by Ralph Woodward and Fairhaven Singers, Cambridge (with lyrics by Andrew Motion), to commemorate the anniversaries of the birth of Benjamin Britten (1913) and the death of J.F. Kennedy (1963), which both fall on 22 November. Another commission to mark Britten's centenary is Daydreams, a set of children's songs celebrating Britten's Friday Afternoons, published by Boosey & Hawkes, that will be premiered at Oakham School, Rutland, on 22 November.

Thomas' most recent work includes Untamed Elegies (with words by Paul Williamson), a choral work for Lincoln Cathedral, based on themes taken from the life of St Hugh of Lincoln. He has also written newly-commissioned Christmas carols for Tewkesbury Abbey, RCM and Colet Court School. Notable events in 2014 include the premieres of two large-scale works: Panatheneia, commissioned by Hugo Ticciati for the festival O/Modernt (Stockholm, June 2014), and Coronation Meadows, seven songs reflecting on the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War for a massed choir of 200 children, commissioned by Arts for Rutland, the Curve Theatre (Leicester) and the British Army.
