In this reimagined presentation of The Four Seasons, movements by Vivaldi and Piazzolla are woven together, creating a musical dialogue between Baroque Italy and 20th‑century Buenos Aires. Performed by the FMSO’s string section and featuring concertmaster Sonja Bosca‑Harasim as soloist, this all‑strings Masterworks concert pairs one of classical music’s most beloved works with a fresh, imaginative perspective—appealing to both longtime audiences and first‑time Masterworks listeners.

To close the Masterworks season in dramatic fashion, the FMSO joins forces with the Fargo-Moorhead Opera for this special co-production.

From the genius behind La Bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly comes Puccini’s gripping one-act masterpiece of passion and betrayal. Set aboard a barge on the dark waters of the Seine, Il Tabarro (The Cloak) simmers with jealousy, longing, and fatal secrets. Its brooding atmosphere and sweeping score deliver a raw, emotional punch in this rarely performed gem.
