Tanz-Signale 2025

To mark the bicentenary of the birth of Johann Strauss I in 2004 the Wiener Institut für Strauss-Forschung (WISF) founded the annual Tanz-Signale, an event which invites musicologists, historians, musicians and all those interested to discuss the Strauss family. In 2025, the Tanz-Signale will offer twenty-two lectures and a range of musical performances to present Johann Strauss II, Waltz King and Pop Star, as a unique phenomenon in the history of music in Vienna.
