All about the Convention in Vienna from September 16 to 18, 2011.
Itinerary planned:
Friday, September 16, 2011:
From 5pm reception in a centrally located hotel near the “Konzerthaus”, where Ray Conniff gave a concert in 1969 (see below). After a short walk:
Enjoy the evening in the Gothic-Romanesque vaults of Twelve Apostles' Cellars. In three historical basements a typical buffet as well as an extensive
choice of Austrian wines and beer is waiting for you. In addition, you will be accompanied by their “Heurigen” musicians with live music.
Saturday, September 17, 2011:
After
breakfast
(not
before
10am)
we’ll
take
a
walk
to
the
Hofburg.
From
11am
there
will
be
a
concert
by
the
Hoch-
und
Deutschmeister
band.
At
12
o’clock
we
will
be
met
by
a
guide
who
will
take
us
along
historic
Vienna
on
foot.
Afterwards,
you
may
explore
more
of
Vienna
on
your
own
or
in
groups.
There
is
plenty
to
see
and
do
-
and
eat!
(You
may
treat
yourself
to
a
piece
of
the
famous
Sacher
cake.
Or
perhaps
the
museums
are
more
to
your
taste.
E.g.,
the
Museumsquartier
is
well
worth
a
visit.)
We
will
meet
for
dinner
in
a
Viennese
restaurant
,
which
serves
great
local
dishes.
We
plan
the
almost
regular
Ray
Conniff
Quiz,
intend
to
show
you
some
Ray
Conniff
videos,
and
of
course,
the
background
music
is
by
you-know-who.
The
restaurant is conventiently located near the hotel where most of us will be accommodated.
Sunday, September 18, 2011:
The biannually held Ray Conniff Fan Club Conventions normally end after Sunday brunch, but if you have the opportunity to stay a little longer, you
may want to join us for an excursion to Schloss Schönbrunn. Also, a trip to Grinzing is planned for the evening, but this depends on the weather.
Maybe you prefer a sightseeing tour in a Fiaker coach or a visit to the Prater to enjoy the sight from the big wheel? Please feel free to make your
choices for the day. In the evening a final get-together is planned. I hope YOU will be able to join the fans from all around the world.
