Imogen Claire Holst (* 12 April 1907 in Richmond upon Thames (Surrey); † 9 March 1984 in Aldeburgh, Suffolk) was an English composer, conductor and music writer.

Life

Imogen Claire Holst was the daughter of the composer Gustav Holst and his wife Isobel Harrison. She attended St Paul’s Girls School in Hammersmith and studied at the Royal College of Music in London. During the Second World War she worked as an organiser with the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts from 1941 to 1944 and as musical director with the Arts Centre at Dartington Hall School from 1943 to 1951.

In 1952 Imogen Holst went to Aldeburgh as Benjamin Britten’s associate and became artistic director of the festival there in 1956. In 1953 she founded the Purcell Singers, of which she was conductor until 1967. Of her writings, it is the biography of her father that has achieved greater fame. Her other books deal with medieval, folk, Renaissance and baroque music. In addition to her father, she has written biographies of William Byrd, Henry Purcell, Johann Sebastian Bach and Benjamin Britten.

As a composer, Imogen Holst left behind an extensive body of work covering instrumental, vocal and orchestral genres. She was equally versatile as an arranger.
