Step into an evening of timeless elegance as the Duke Wind Symphony hosts the 51st Annual Viennese Ball, one of the university's most cherished musical and social traditions.

Attendees are transported into a world where graceful melodies and lilting rhythms fill the hall, and the spirit of Strauss and his contemporaries comes vividly to life. Whether you take to the dance floor or simply enjoy the music from your seat, the evening offers an unforgettable blend of artistry, tradition, and community.
With its candlelit ambiance, spirited dancing, and beautifully performed Viennese repertoire, the event captures everything that has made the Viennese Ball a symbol of joy and refinement for more than half a century. It's an immersive experience that celebrates both the rich history of social dance and the extraordinary musicianship of the Duke Wind Symphony.
