BOCCONI ALUMNI CHAPTER VIENNA PRESENTSINTERNATIONAL WEEKEND VISITING BANK AUSTRIA BALL IN VIENNA, 18.01.2020Vienna’s Ball seasonThe Vienna Ball Season is a set of individual Gala and Dance events in the winter months between November and March each year and taking place in the most glamorous Palaces in the city. This period of the year is probably the most magic one and the entire city of Vienna is transforming into an enormous ballroom dancing to the famous Waltzes of Johann Strauss. Why attending a Ball in Vienna?Vienna&#x27;s most important cultural heritages are the Original Viennese Waltz and the winterly ball season. These sets of events have been influencing the social and political life in the city for centuries and are still firmly fixed in the live of the locals nowadays. And since the Viennese Balls are quite entertaining and dancing the Original Waltz and Midnight Quadrille is quite a bit of fun, these events perfectly showcase a local heritage and offer a deep insight into the Viennese culture as no other event of the year does - apart from the New Year&#x27;s Concert, maybe. What is the BANK AUSTRIA Ball?BANK AUSTRIA ist one of the most traditional Austrian Financial Institutions and seit almost 15 years part of UNICREDIT GROUP. Every year BANK AUSTRIA organizes a ball. This time it will take place in the leisure framework of the Vienna Cityhall, on January 18, 2020. About three thousand guests will socialize and demonstrate their dancing and partying abilities which will take their take their thoughts away from daily concerns such as interest rates, stock prices, and so on.

The Dress-code for the Ball is not so strict as it is for some other Viennese Balls, but still ladies need to have floor-length evening dress, while gentlemen - black tailcoat with white bow tie, black tuxedo with black bow tie, black suit with bow tie (no tie!) or high uniform.
