Details:
Composer, pianist and trombonist Daniel Hewson is fast making a name for himself in both the UK and Portugal. He is a multi-talented musician equally at home in the pop, classical and jazz worlds.

âHeartfelt string arrangementsâ (Andy Puleston, BBC)

âA young, up-and-coming British composer.â (Classic FM)

â...some sparkling piano from Hewsonâ (thejazzmann.com)
"The glorious strings that explode from Edge Hill are proof of life..."

".....driving rhythms punctuate the quartet and quintet which have influences of Bartok and Stravinsky but are resolutely Hewson's voice with beautiful melodic structures....modern classical music as it should be - challenging yet tuneful. Highly recommended!" (Richard C, London)

"...truly electrifying. I love the way Secret Doors combines elements of jazz with the more 'classical' sound" (Peter Bance, Cambridge Review)

Daniel studied music at Oxford University and has performed worldwide with the Lost and Found Orchestra (Stomp), the National Youth Orchestra, Nigel Kennedy and Bobby Wellins in venues including the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall. He has written and arranged for Groove Armada, Madonna, the Art of Noise and the Allegri String Quartet.

Daniel's music has been extensively used in the media, appearing on the sountrack to "Tomb Raider" and the TV series "Lost". He has released three albums of his music, Secret Doors, A Day in Cadiz and Shadow Dance. He is currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
