OUR SOCIAL & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
The Austrian-American Council West distinguished itself inmany cultural and social affairs like galas, balls and dinner dances. The Council has hosted symphony orchestras, including the Vienna Philharmonic, showcased major musical artists from the Republic of Austria and the United States of America, as well as having provided opportunities for lesser-known
talents to perform publicly. A variety of performers have enjoyed Council sponsorship.
AACW has presented countless concerts, book presentations and signings,
film production and screenings, lectures and exhibits.
Yearly highlights have been the Austrian-American Day black tie galas attended by
ambassadors, consul generals, county and city officials and other dignitaries and members.
At these occasions the Austrian-American Council West has created an annual Austrian American Day Award to be donated to carefully selected nonprofit organizations
that are dedicated to helping children in need.
