Bill Holst - Sharing the Brilliance and Legacy of Composer Alan Hovhaness

Hinako Fujihara Hovhaness & Bill Holst, Co-Author the book- Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century” after his death, Hinako Fujihara Hovhaness (1932–2022) was the wife of the late composer Alan Hovhaness and a devoted advocate for his legacy. A trained coloratura soprano and founder of the Hovhaness-Fujihara Music Company, she played an instrumental role in managing and promoting her husband’s work. Hinako served as executive producer on over a dozen recordings of Hovhaness’s music and helped establish his lasting presence through collaborations with leading classical music labels such as Delos, Telarc, and Naxos.

She began writing “Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century” after his death,drawing from decades of shared history, performance, and artistic partnership. The memoir, completed posthumously, was co-authored by her son, Bill Holst, who now serves as the family archivist and curator of the Hovhaness legacy. Bill brings deep historical insight and personal experience to the work, having been closely involved in preserving and cataloging the composer’s body of work. His collaboration ensures that Hinako’s original vision is honored while offering readers an expanded context for Alan Hovhaness’s life and music. Together, their work offers an intimate and authentic perspective on Alan Hovhaness’s life and contributions to classical music. “Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century” serves not only as a tribute from those who knew him best, but also as a vital addition to the historical record of American music.
