Patrick Meadows and Stephanie Shepard Memorial Site
Thoughts, reflections, memories, and testimonials about Patrick Meadows and Stephanie Shepard.
We worked with Patrick and Stephanie for many years. We enjoyed our time with them and they were inspirational. On Saturday 22 April we were in Puigcerda in Catalonia with three conductors setting up a tour for July. The orchestras will stay in the same hotel in Solsona and their 5 concerts will be in […]
I am honoured that JP has asked me to make a contribution to this web site. Patrick was an extraordinary man and to do justice to his character, personality and kind-heartedness would take a literary talent far greater than mine. Patrick undoubtedly possessed such a gift and I shudder to think what he’d make of […]

Here’s the video of Patrick’s memorial service as a YouTube link. The space was a challenge to shoot (very long and narrow), and you can sometimes hear donkeys braying in the background (how perfectly Mallorquin) but you should get a sense of the place and the sentiment. There may be some updates later but I […]

Letter to Ivonne on 24 April 2017, posted with her permission: We all miss Patrick and I know that you miss him very much too. Fortunately we all still have each other. You are especially lucky because you also have your daughter. Her love for you is different, but just as special, just as wonderful, […]
Found this in Patrick’s inbox, from Alison. It’s dated 13 Apr ’17 6:44 AM Dear Patrick, I’m so very grateful for you! You and Stephanie have been such an inspiration in my life to pursue my artistic calling. Your passion to follow your dreams has given me courage to follow my own. I am so […]
One of the most memorable events that happened while living at your house was when your father visited. It was enormously satisfying to me on so many different levels and I don’t even know why, actually. He’s a great conversationalist, he’s very personable, and he has a great sense of humor. He’s outside of the […]

Thanks to Suzy, here are the concert notes he included in that final program under his tenure. Trini, Suzy and I read these remarks (in Mallorquin, Spanish, and English) to the memorial […]
