| Description: | Our traditional Viennese Balls are by all accounts perfect events. They have style, grandeur, and the opening ceremony is breathtaking. Gentlemen, dressed in coat tails and young debutantes, looking resplendent in their white gowns and sparkling tiaras waltz to the impeccable Schonbrunner Schlossorchester. Therefore it is again time for the most exclusive event of the year, the Viennese Ball by JW Marriott, that is! Save February 28th 2009 in your agenda and make sure you book your table for the occasion. We'll meet again at the Parliament Palace, and together with our generous friends and partners, we'll make happen the third Viennese Ball under the high patronage of Dr. Michael Häupl, the Mayor and Governor of the City of Vienna. Conductor Guido Mancusi and the prestigious Schönbrunner Schlossorchester from Vienna will lead the waltz. It may seem that harsh times are inappropriate for lush entertainment. But look at it the other way: there is no better time for generosity than harsh times! | |
