Canton Symphony Orchestra This year, we are happy to continue our Composer Fellowship program for the 2023-2024 season. To see past recipients, visit https://www.cantonsymphony.org/composer-fellowship/. This fellowship is open to undergraduate composition students at a Northeast Ohio College or University (students must be enrolled at an undergraduate institution in the 2023-2024 school year).

The piece composed by the winner will be musically accessible and playable at an advanced high school level. The fellow will receive a small stipend as well as mileage reimbursement for rehearsal and performance.

Qualified students may apply for the 2023-2024 CSO Composer Fellowship using the online application that will be open until April 29, 2023. Finalists will have interviews during the month of May with Canton Symphony Music Director, Gerhardt Zimmermann, Canton Youth Symphony Music Director, Matthew Jenkins Jaroszewicz, CSO President and CEO, Rachel Hagemeier, and CSO Director of Artistic Operations, Mike Koscso.
