Round Top Music Festival: Annually, one hundred or so advanced young music students representing an average of eleven countries come to study under the organization's accomplished music faculty and six different conductors from around the world.

Their instruction is tuition-free. The students pay a nominal fee to cover part of their room and board. The James Dick Foundation provides housing and meals to the young artists, faculty, and guest conductors on our 110-acre campus. The August-to-April Concert Series includes a variety of performances including piano recitals, bell ringers, and brass concerts; instrumental ensembles from various universities; the Nutcracker Ballet danced by children for children of all ages; and various choral groups. These events bring over 5,000 visitors to Festival Hill each year. The events are designed to teach and entertain. Between artistic events, the campus is used for conferences. As part of community outreach, the campus is used for regional high school track meets. The hall is also used by high school bands and choral groups, and for local school graduations. Meeting facilities are also made available to other nonprofits in the area.
