The Canton Youth Symphony is meant to supplement, not replace, school instruction and ensemble participation.

Led by Music Director, Matthew Jenkins Jaroszewicz, the Canton Youth Symphony has grown to include three ensembles and is made up of students from nine counties in the Northeast Ohio area.
