Round Top Festival Institute — Summer Concert Season

June 6, 2026 – July 12, 2026

Round Top Festival Institute — Summer Concert Season

World-class classical music in the countryside.

Festival Hill, Round Top

Each summer, the Round Top Festival Institute fills its acclaimed concert hall at Festival Hill with world-class music — the Texas Festival Orchestra, chamber concerts, and recitals by gifted young musicians from around the world. The setting, on 210 acres of gardens and historic buildings, is as memorable as the music.

It's the most cultured evening in the area by a mile, and one of the great reasons to visit Round Top in the green, uncrowded months between the antique shows.

What to expect

  • Texas Festival Orchestra and chamber concerts
  • A superb concert hall on historic grounds
  • Gardens open to stroll before performances
  • Summer's marquee cultural series

Plan it right

Buy concert tickets ahead and arrive early to walk the gardens and ruins at golden hour. A perfect pairing with an early dinner at JW's on the way back.
