Word Cloud by all students
At All-School on Friday, February 17 every student wrote down the first word that came to mind when they thought "Idyllwild Arts". Diane Miller, executive assistant to Brian D. Cohen, then entered the words at Wordle.net and generated this word cloud.
How I came back to Gustav Mahler by Brian D. Cohen
When I was a teenager I got made fun of for, among many other reasons, my taste in music. My choices didn't seem to make sense taken together (Gustav Mahler and the Doors).
