Composer
Tony Hewitt-Jones (1926-1989)
Thomas Hewitt Jones is a British composer of contemporary classical and commercial music. He has written extensively for ballet, including the 2008 score for the Independent Ballet Wales production of Under Milk Wood, which was met with critical acclaim including a 5* review from the Independent, a second 2008/2009 ballet commission which was funded by the Arts Council of Wales, and a third ballet work, 'How Green was my Valley', which toured the UK throughout 2009. In 2010 he wrote music for a ballet adaptation of the Welsh folk tale 'Lady of the Lake', again with Independent Ballet Wales, which toured to venues including Sadler's Wells and Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff. His catalogue includes several large orchestral works, an organ concerto, chamber and vocal works, solo instrumental works and many smaller pieces. Thomas has had works published by Faber music, Oxford University Press, ABRSM Publishing, the RSCM, Encore Publications and Metronome Music Ltd. A revival of 'Under Milk Wood' is taking place in 2011 on a UK tour by Independent Ballet Wales, newly named Ballet Cymru.
The Daily Express has described Thomas's own compositional voice as "wistful and gently stirring" and his music is thoughtful & dark, with its roots in lush harmony. He has collaborated with members of the Royal Opera House orchestra.
