Rhapsody Gifts
Honor the memory of someone special through a Rhapsody/In Memoriam Gift to the Canton Symphony Orchestra.

Honor A Legacy With An Endowment Gift

Honor the people and moments that have shaped your life with a gift. A tribute gift can celebrate a marriage, the birth of a child, a retirement, an anniversary, or another meaningful milestone. A memorial gift can preserve the memory of someone recently lost or honor a loved one whose influence continues to be felt years later.

Each gift becomes part of a lasting musical legacy. Honorees and memorials are recognized on this page in perpetuity, and gifts received during the fiscal year, July 1 through June 30, are also acknowledged in the CSO’s program inserts. Through this meaningful gesture, the people you cherish become part of the music and mission of the Canton Symphony Orchestra.

If you have questions about Rhapsody gifts, please contact Nathan Maslyk, development manager, at nmaslyk@cantonsymphony.org or by calling 330.452.2094. 

Endowment gifts provide lasting support for the Canton Symphony Orchestra. Each year, investment earnings generate vital operating funds that help ensure the music continues for generations to come.
