The spirit of Europe became the focus of the 101st CV Ball in Linz

The Linz ball season was officially opened with a “Celebration for Europe” on Saturday evening with the 101st CV Ball. At the invitation of the Upper Austrian Catholic student associations, thousands of guests came to the Palais Kaufmännischer Verein and celebrated freedom in Europe without borders together. “Nothing can be taken for granted, as 35 years of the fall of the Iron Curtain and war right on the doorstep of Europe and in the Middle East show us,” said ball committee chairman Leo Jindrak at the opening.

Former state governor Josef Pühringer, medical association president Peter Niedermoser, Heinrich Schaller (general director of Raiffeisenlandesbank) and OÖ insurance director Othmar Nagl also paid a visit to the ball.

In the dance hall, the pt art Orchestra & Friends thrilled the dance-loving guests with their musical performances, while in the Yellow Hall the DJ duo Coverrun provided the perfect rhythms for an exuberant ball night. The St. Florian Boys’ Choir offered a special midnight performance followed by an audience quadrille.
