A note from Allan Pollock:
Dear Friend of Juliette,
When Juliette passed away in November, Susan Waterfall and I talked to some of her children, and agreed that it would be wonderful to dedicate one of the Mendocino Music Festival’s concerts to her memory.
Last summer, Juliette told me that she did not want memorials of any kind after she was gone. I then turned to her, looked her straight in the eye, and said, “When the cat’s away, the mice will play.” I think we laughed for two minutes—she had such a great sense of humor!
Susan and I loved Juliette so much that we want to remember her in a setting that she would have appreciated—on stage, with a gorgeous orchestra, and with a performance of two glorious pieces by Brahms: the Double Concerto for violin and cello (with Burke on cello!) and the 4th Symphony. These pieces seem fitting, since Juliette’s father, Edwin Ideler, was a superb violinist and concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony, and Juliette’s mother, Martha Washington Ideler, was an accomplished concert pianist. We want to honor Juliette and her entire family, who gave so much to the arts.
The Juliette Ideler White Memorial Concert will take place on Wednesday evening, July 21, at 8PM in the Mendocino Music Festival tent, perched on the most breath-taking headlands in the entire world.
Usually, families and friends do what they can to support an evening’s production—in this case, sponsoring Juliette’s concert for $1500. Susan Waterfall and I have each pledged $100 and Juliette’s granddaughter, Alexandra and her husband Michael, have pledged $500. If you want to help with this, please send a check (with a note on the check: “in honor of Juliette’s concert so that the office knows) for any amount—large or small—to the Mendocino Music Festival office.
And, for those who cannot contribute, please come to the concert on July 21 to remember a most wonderful, magnificent human being loved by so many people!
Thanks so much,
Allan Pollack
