The Annual Viennese Ball

The annual Viennese Ball will be presented April 8 and 9 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The doors of W.R. Davies Student Center will open at 6:30 p.m. each evening. The largest Viennese ball outside of Vienna itself, this highly anticipated and popular event is a fundraiser for music, service and international study scholarships for UW-Eau Claire students   The Viennese Ball is inspired by the romance and elegance of 19th-century Vienna, Austria. Modeled on the historic New Year's Eve Kaiser Ball, the event will transform all three levels of Davies Center. The ball showcases the University Symphony Orchestra, performing waltzes and polkas from the Strauss Era; Jazz Ensemble I, performing music from America's Big Band Era; and student and faculty ensembles and regional musicians performing an array of classical music representing the era.   Visit the Viennese Ball website (https://www.uwec.edu/centers/viennese-ball/) for more details.
