Welcome to the homepage of
THE JOHANN STRAUSS SOCIETY OF VIENNA

 

The Johann Strauss Society of Vienna, founded in 1936, is a politically independent association with the aim of preserving the works of the Strauss family, particularly Viennese dance and operetta music.

The Society’s most important tasks and goals:

• Performing concerts of classical Viennese music, especially works by Johann Strauss Jr.
• Performances of entire operettas in concert or staged form, with the focus on the revival of unfairly forgotten works of  the Golden and Silver Ages of Viennese operettas.
• Spreading knowledge about the life and work of Johann Strauss Jr., his family and his contemporary and succeeding composers in the field of classical Viennese music.
• Efforts to propagate the interest in, and cultivation of, this genre of music  not only in Austria, but also in other countries.
