School History: The history of Idyllwild Arts is a rich tapestry that has been woven by many benevolent patrons, passionate educators, and dedicated visionaries during its seven-decades.
Incorporated as an arts education institution in 1946 by an inspired group of stellar benefactors, Idyllwild Arts was envisioned to provide a secluded place where people of all backgrounds could come together to experience the arts.
The principal founders were Dr. Max and Mrs. Beatrice Krone who assembled a small but prominent group of pioneers — Dr. Robert Kingsley and William Hartshorn, both professors at the University of Southern California, as well as Alfred Wallenstein, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra at the time.
The concept was simple: establish an educational arts institution “for the purpose of promoting and advancing artistic and cultural development primarily for the advancement of instruction in music and the arts.”
Thus the Idyllwild Arts Foundation was born and since its inception, Idyllwild Arts has more than fulfilled the legacy of these pioneers.
