Fred Thomas is an ECM artist and one of London’s most sought after multi-instrumentalists and composer/arranger/producers, known for his breadth of musical styles as well as for specialising in creative re-interpretations of J.S. Bach. He has appeared all over the world, performing in venues such as Berlin Philarmonic, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Wiener Konzerthaus. Described as “a revelation” (Apple Music), “mesmerising” (BBC Music Magazine) and “a world of soulful dreaming that enraptures with its poetic images” (Das Bach Magazin), his debut on the ECM New Series label was “Three or One”, 24 pieces by Bach transcribed for trio and solo piano by Thomas himself. Of British and Argentinian background, he has collaborated with a huge variety of artists including Brian Eno, Yo-Yo Ma, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jordi Savall, Rachel Podger, Meredith Monk, Lianne Le Havas, Ethan Iverson, Larry Grenadier and Kees Boeke. With a discography of over fifty albums, his arrangements and transcriptions are published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen and he works regularly as Musical Director at Shakespeare’s Globe. As a producer, Thomas has overseen albums for labels such as Warner Classics and his recent compositions were performed internationally and at the Royal Opera House. - “A boundary-blurring composer and improviser” –
