Sustaining the Music That Brings Our Community Together.

Season Sponsorships now provide recognition across the entire MainStage season—not just a single concert.

This approach reflects our belief that meaningful partnerships and impact are built over time, while offering curated experiences that connect sponsors more deeply to the music, musicians, and mission.

By The Numbers...

Every year, the Canton Symphony Orchestra reaches:

16,000+ Patrons

across

12 MainStage Performances.

However, ticket sales cover just 1/5 of the cost to produce and present this art form. We need your help!

The average cost to produce a MasterWorks concert is

$90,000-110,000.

The average revenue we receive from ticket sales is

$14,000-25,000.

Your role as a sponsor is absolutely vital.
