Celebrating the life and music of Gustav Holst’s daughter, a hundred years after her birth.
The only daughter of Composer Gustav Holst, Imogen was a talented composer in her own right but spent her life helping others to explore and create music. She taught in Devon and during the Second World War, travelled the country conducting choirs to keep up morale. She became assistant to Benjamin Britten and a director of the Aldeburgh Festival in Suffolk. A hundred years after her birth, a new book about her life is being published. Ritula is joined by the Editor Christopher Grogan and Imogen‘s friend and colleague Rosamund Strode.
