THE 89TH SEASON
As the Canton Symphony Orchestra enters its 89th season, we invite you to join us at a defining moment of discovery and possibility.

Each finalist brings a distinct artistic voice and vision, offering audiences the opportunity to experience remarkable performances, while shaping what comes next in the CSO’s story.
Alongside this journey, we are very pleased to expand the Employers Health Pops Series into two performances of each concert, increasing access to programs that continue to resonate with the interests of our broader community.
We look forward with great excitement to the 2026–2027 season, featuring community collaborations, beloved repertoire, and new artistic perspectives.
