The Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra (ESO) marked a milestone in its 2024/2025 season with a record-setting performance of The Four Seasons on Jan. 19.

The concert, which included Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, was the third-best attended and second-highest selling in the orchestra’s history.

Guest violinist Cynthia Freivogel performed Vivaldi’s piece, while ESO concertmaster Rika Seko took the solo for Piazzolla. Audience feedback was extremely positive, with first-time attendee Adolphe Zielinski praising the “top-notch performance.”

The ESO will continue its season with A Grand Tour on Mar. 16, featuring music influenced by various international traditions and flute soloist Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson. Tickets for the concert are available for purchase online at  ElmhurstSymphony.org.
