Against all odds, this classical music haven is deep in the heart of Texas. A landmark on 200 acres of hilly, tree-covered countryside in the picture-perfect town of Round Top, population 77, this refuge is officially known as the International-Festival Institute at Round Top. Festival Hill for short, this place is the vision of former concert pianist James Dick, who, with his dedicated team, built, planted, and developed the school, venue, and grounds piece by piece starting in 1971. To see a concert at Festival Hill is to become a classical music fan.
