® Bravo! 50th Anniversary message from James Dick

Round Top Festival Institute The sole endeavor of The James Dick Foundation for the Performing Arts

Fifty years ago, the small community of Round Top helped us cultivate this extraordinary dream of Festival Hill into becoming a reality. Originally a Summer Piano Festival with ten students, the Round Top Festival Institute has brought forth thousands of national and international young artists who now perform and teach on six continents. As well, our foundation has developed a campus, including a wonderfully acclaimed concert hall, which attracts businesses and other groups for conferences, retreats, weddings and events throughout the year. I was not alone in my hope and vision in this extensive project. In 1971, Richard Royall joined me, having returned from his study in Germany and having attained his law degree. I invited him to be our founding managing director contributing his legal expertise from the very inception. His enduring vision and creativity are imprinted everywhere on this campus. I wish he was here to see the Festival Institute move forward as he so mightily encouraged every day of his life. Today, the Festival Hill campus, where we have planted thousands of trees, restored numerous historic structures that were doomed to be destroyed and where we have built very needed structures from scratch, stands as a testament to our endeavors to create an internationally recognized center of performance and learning. The growth we have achieved is the result of many hands, hearts and minds coming together. Skilled craftsmen have helped to build this magnificent venue for aspiring musicians and the enthusiastic audiences, gardens have been planted with the kindnesses of volunteers, kitchen staff have prepared thousands of meals, and a dedicated and remarkable staff keep events running year round. This is made possible by the generous and abiding supporters who share our vision and continue to bring this project to fruition through their contributions to our non-profit public educational foundation. As the Institute looks to the future, it also looks back upon our heritage and affirms by its presence that special importance of place and our foundation's strong belief and mission that the arts give the deepest and most meaningful form of human communication. They provide the common bond for all mankind and perform the miracle of making all cultures and people one family, here in Fayette County and the world. The spirit that launchedR ound Top Festival Institute carries forward. Whatever your role in this extraordinary adventure—and it is a necessary one—thank you so deeply for being part of making this bold dream come true.

4 The James Dick Foundation Funding Opportunities

ANNUAL GIVING Annual gifts are the bedrock of Round Top Festival Institute. They are the Institute’s largest source of revenue. When combined with earned income from ticket sales, facility rentals, and endowment interest, annual giving provides the funding needed to sustain this internationally recognized cultural center. Annual giving supports concerts, events, and forums throughout the year. All young artists studying and performing at the Institute receive scholarships. Some are provided through endowment, others through foundation grants, and the balance through unrestricted annual gifts.

ENDOWMENT GIVING AND BEQUESTS Permanently endowed scholarships, faculty chairs and named funds are an exceptional way to help attract internationally renowned faculty that are core to our educational programs and provide full tuition to every young artist who attends our acclaimed Festival. Endowed Conductor Chairs begin at $100,000, Endowed Faculty Chairs begin at $75,000 and Endowed Scholarships begin at $50,000. Endowed positions may be funded over several years. For information regarding Endowed Chairs and Scholarships, please send email to [email protected] or call the Institute office.

CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT Campaign Campus development allows the Foundation, a non-profit organization, to pursue debt-free ownership of the grounds and facilities at the Institute. Your gifts toward this aim help fulfill the Master Plan for campus building projects and ensure the ongoing care and maintenance of this unique cultural legacy. For more information on current campaigns, future needs and naming opportunities, please send email to [email protected] or call the Institute office. Your Support Makes All The Difference!
