Uncommon Denonminator @ The 50th Annual Viennese Ball
Established in 1974, the Viennese Ball is inspired by the historic Kaiser Ball housed in Vienna at the Hofburg Congress Center, the former Imperial Palace and seat of the Austrian emperors. A multi-roomed New Year’s Eve extravaganza in the style of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elizabeth’s “Ball at Court,” the Kaiser Ball features thousands of flowers, wonderful food, and a wide variety of musical events including Salonmusik, Volkmusik, and, of course, orchestras playing Viennese waltzes.
With the Davies Center completely transformed, one can Waltz and swing dance to Big Band standards in the Grand Ballroom, polka in the Festival Hall, & enjoy music and fun in the American Bar. Since its beginning, most music and performances are presented by students and staff in the Music & Theater Arts Department.
Through attendance and support of the Ball, more than $1.5 million has been raised for music, service and international study scholarships and awards.
