Imo - The Art Song of Imogen Holst 🎶
We are thrilled to announce our next forthcoming release with soprano .songi and pianist .fletcher.148.
Hot on the heels of 2025 release The Garland, which brought Elizabeth Maconchy's work out of the archives, 'Imo' champions hitherto neglected vocal works of Imogen Holst.
Slated for release this coming autumn with singles to whet your appetite in advance, don't miss the super opportunity to hear some of this repertoire in recital on 10th May.
📍
🎙️ Joanna Songi (Soprano) & Matthew Fletcher (Piano)
✨ Exploring Holst’s Art Song alongside works by Gustav Holst, Benjamin Britten, Colin Matthews, Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Ella Jarman-Pinto.

Clip in video from forthcoming single of world premiere recording of My Dearest Dear from Holst's Appalachian Folk Songs (1938)
My dearest dear, the time draws near
When I and you must part,
And no-one knows the inner grief
Of my poor aching heart.
Just see what I suffer for your sake*
You are who I love so dear,
I’d rather I could go with you or you could tarry
here...
