International School at Dundee (ISD) fourth and fifth grade advanced orchestra students attended a special concert at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center last month. All musicians and the conductors were all students from The Juilliard School. The trip was praised as an opportunity for the young string players to experience attending a public concert to motivate them to hear what is possible and to see other young people making music.

Inspired by Cocteau

He was born on the 5th of July 1889 and passed away on the 11th of October 1963.

“I have always preferred Mythology to History because History is made up of truths that later become lies and Mythology is made up of lies that later become truths” said the infamous man of taste known as Jean Cocteau. Jean Cocteau was a multi-gifted artist... a poet before everything else, but also a novelist, play-writer, critic, screen-writer, dialogist, film director, actor, draughtsman, painter; he created costumes and sets for different shows, imagined ballets, and is mentioned in a music dictionary. He is proof of a prodigious gift of transformation and of the ability to enter and embody an era, an aesthetic quality or another creator. The ambition of complete art, ranked the first artistic ambition by the Wagnerian operas at the end of the 19th Century and then taken over by the Russian Ballets at the beginning of the 20th century is embodied in Cocteau.
