James Hewitt is active in both early and contemporary music, and becoming well known for his engaging personal style and improvisatory prowess.
He performs throughout Europe, both solo and in ensembles including Contrasto Armonico, the Northern Consort, and the Scroll Ensemble, which specialises in programmes inspired by improvisatory practices of the baroque and was featured in the Leipzig Improvisation Festival 2011. He has participated in several recordings with Contrasto Armonico, associated with an extended project to record all of Handel's Italian Cantatas, and has broadcast on Dutch Radio 4.
He leads workshops, such as the dance orchestra and instrumental workshop of Yiddish Summer Weimar, and is associated as an artist for MEMO, giving concerts in schools for young children.
He also works with improvisation ensembles the Royal Improviser's Orchestra, the Hewitt/ Baggiani Duo (improvising ensemble with violin and percussion), and DAMU (music/dance improvisation), and in the Klingon Opera U, in which he plays a newly made instrument, tin dach. On this instrument, similar to a rebab, he also performs modal improvisaion and Gregorian chant.
His compositions include works for Cambridge University Opera Society (Moses and Pharaoh), Ely Cathedral Choir, the Nieuw Ensemble, Modello Ensemble, and the Fokker Organ in Amsterdam Muziekgebauw aan't IJ. He has received performances at the Cheltenham Festival, the Royal Institution of Great Britain, and during the Gaudeamus Interpreter's Competition in Amsterdam. His works will increasingly become available from Parklaan Publications on Tutti Music.
He read music at Girton College, Cambridge, and continued his studies at the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague: baroque violin with Pavlo Beznosiuk, and composition with Martijn Padding, Cornelis de Bondt and Guus Janssen. He completed his masters there with research in improvised counterpoint.

//-------------------------------------
Started in the mid 90′s playing electric guitar in progressive rock and fusion bands, always composing his own music. Later, in 2002, he was playing double bass and saxophone in a popular/folk music orchestra in São Paulo -- coordinated by Ricardo Zohyo, studying the music of Hermeto Pascoal. He played briefly in the jazz scene in São Paulo and Buenos Aires but got involved with the alternative rock scene for musical and political reasons. In these period he collaborated with several underground rock bands, like Ordinaria Hit and Patife Band. Also in São Paulo, he got involved in the local small scene of free improvisation, playing in the Abaetetuba collective with Antonio Gianfratti, Yedo Gibson, Rodrigo Montoya, Thomas Rohrer. At the same time he started to be interested in contemporary music.
Parallel to music, Renato studied Geography in the University of São Paulo and became a High-school teacher in public schools in the city. However as life went on he could not imagine it without music and moved to Europe to study composition in The Hague's Royal Conservatory.
