Join the Philharmonic Society of Orange County for an unforgettable evening at the Philharmonic Ball, where art, music, and nature unite in perfect harmony in celebration of the Vienna Philharmonic’s three-day residency in Southern California.

The Vienna Philharmonic’s exclusive 2025 tour features only two other stops—Carnegie Hall and the Bay Area. Their performances at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall are a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most illustrious orchestras. During the Orange County residency, the Vienna Philharmonic will inspire and cultivate the next generation of musicians with educational workshops and performances.

At the Philharmonic Ball on March 9, step into a world inspired by Gustav Klimt’s captivating art. Be serenaded while indulging in gourmet cuisine and savoring exquisite wines. Our beautifully adorned ballroom will welcome guests with vibrant colors and graceful florals, establishing the perfect backdrop for a night where every waltz danced and glass raised helps sustain youth music education.
