On Monday, 4 January 2016, Jennifer Thomas was pleasantly surprised to discover that her new album Winter Symphony won “Album of the Year” on music critic Michael Debbage’s Top 20 of 2015 list. She receives this well-deserved honor for her exquisite music having been listed among other astounding artists such as Jesse Cook, Paul Cardall, Enya, Wayne Gratz, and Heidi Breyer, to name but a few. The following review was written about her and her wonderful album:

With a lot of very good music released throughout the year the exceptional breath taking creations were a little harder to find than in past years. Nevertheless, with some very impressive moments including two big hitters Jesse Cook and Enya, once again no one stood out more than Jennifer Thomas’s Winter Symphony. While she was in good company it was without a shadow of a doubt that in spite of the specialty theme her creation was indeed Album of the Year and worth the shining star that she presented to the listening public.

Jennifer posted the following comment on her Facebook page in response to the exciting news:

Wow! I’m very excited to learn this morning that my new album Winter Symphony won “Album of the Year” on music critic Michael Debbage’s Top 20 of 2015 list. Michael has always been one of my favorite music reviewers, he is also picky and hard to please and so it makes me even more excited! I’m also very honored to have been among so many of my wonderfully talented fellow artists. Many others on the list are among my favorites – Ryan Stewart, Enya, Doug Hammer, Heidi Breyer, Paul Cardall and more.
