Campaign - CELEBRATING GERHARDT

40 years of artistic excellence, 1980-2020

When Gerhardt first arrived in Canton, he was just over 30. He hit the ground running on October 12, 1980 with internationally known pianist André Watts as his first guest soloist. Since that first concert, he has conducted other renowned artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Emmanuel Ax, Menahem Pressler, Sylvia McNair, and Béla Fleck. Watts himself returned 10 times. Under Maestro Zimmermann’s reign as Music Director, the Canton Symphony has commissioned a dozen new works.
