About the 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.

Music & Dancing

With the Davies Center completely transformed, one can Waltz and swing dance to Big Band standards in our Grand Ballroom, polka in the Festival Hall, enjoy music and fun in the American Bar and enjoy showcase performances on our Bösendorfer Concert Grand Imperial Piano. Since its beginning, most music and performances are presented by students and staff in the Music & Theater Arts Department.

Supporting Student Scholarships 

Through your attendance and support of the Ball, we have raised more than $1.5 million for music, service and international study scholarships and awards. Now in its 50th year, we welcome the campus and community to support the Ball, experience the excellence of our music programs and appreciate the character of our student-scholars.
