Uncovered Imogen Holst Violin Concerto to receive first public performance.
Imogen Holst’s Violin Concerto will have its first public performance in London on 24 November, almost 90 years after the work was written in 1935.
Violinist and composer Midori Komachi is reviving the neglected violin concerto as part of her latest project bridging UK and Japanese cultures through music.
Komachi’s initiative, sparked by her research and discovery of the manuscript of the Concerto for Violin and Strings by Imogen Holst at the Archive, Britten Pears Arts in Aldeburgh, has resulted in the score publication by Faber Music and a series of events this year.
