The Quadrille Ball, one of New York City’s most elegant and enduring philanthropic traditions, took place at the historic Plaza Hotel. The Ball is a white-tie gala that celebrates German American friendship and Transatlantic cultural and academic exchange.

 

This timeless event features young men and women who perform the traditional Quadrille, a historic ballroom dance symbolizing unity and harmony. Each year, this cherished tradition is accompanied by live orchestral music, fine dining, dancing, and an opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause.

 

Proceeds from the Quadrille Ball benefit the German American Scholarship Association’s Scholarship Fund. The Fund provides grants to exceptional students pursuing studies or research in the United States or Germany, fostering academic excellence and mutual understanding between the two nations. The Ball’s philanthropic focus on education ensures a lasting impact, empowering young minds to achieve their goals while building global connections.

 

This year’s Ball welcomed Guest of Honor Ms. Lya Friedrich Pfeifer, President of the Max Kade Foundation in addition to friends including The Consul General of  Germany in New York, His Excellency Till Knorn, among other guests.

 

The evening commenced with a cocktail reception in the Terrace Room of the Plaza Hotel.  This was followed by dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom.  Music during dinner was provided by the New York Orchestras Entertainment with the highlight of the evening being the Quadrille presentation which was directed by Gordon A. Cooper and Brian D. Hutchinson.  Following this dazzling evening guests continued the party at the Küka Night Club with supper in the Terrace Room with music provided by the Central Park Orchestra.

 

The Quadrille Stipend Fund could not succeed without the continued and generous support of corporate sponsors, individual patrons, and other private donors. Financial and non-monetary donations help the German-American Scholarship Association award its scholarships to twenty-six outstanding students from the United States and Germany.  The Quadrille Ball would like to thank Sponsors including, The Family of Dr. Karl Elling and The Mejean Family Foundation (Full Scholarship Sponsors),  The Bye Family, The Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation, and The Max Kade Foundation (Platinum Sponsors).

 

In addition, the Society would like to thank Diamond Sponsors for this year’s Quadrille Ball including The Max Kade Foundation,  Mrs. Lya F. and Mr. Joseph PfeiferDr. William Radin and Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Shiva. The Society also recognizes the support of our Benefactors including Mr. Andrew BevanMr. David DetjenDr. Barbara Elling,  Ms. Bettina Elling, Mrs. Heide Herz and Freiherr und Freifrau von Arnim.
