Thomas performs regularly in the UK and in Europe and has given recitals to critical acclaim in Westminster Abbey, St. Pauls and St. Johns Smith Square. He is well know for performing a wide range of music and has won praise for his interpretations of contemporary repertoire. Recent performances have included commissions and new music by composers including Judith Bingham, Henryk Gorexki and Einojuhani Rautavaara.
