Summer Serenades in the Park Concerts
The popular program that combines the spontaneous sounds of nature and people enjoying a park with the orchestrated sounds of musicians is returning for its fifth season this summer. Serenades in the Park is a free, family-friendly series of brass, woodwind, and string ensembles performing all over Stark County. Everyone is invited to bring your favorite picnic food, games, and blanket or chair and enjoy the setting and music.
Stark Parks and the Canton Symphony Orchestra come together to present the 6-concert series from June to September. The series is sponsored in part by the Ada C. & Helen J. Rank Foundation.
The series consists of one-hour performances taking place each month in June, July, August, and September, and features a different small ensemble of CSO musicians in a casual program of light classics, pops, patriotic, and jazz and/or folk repertoire. If any of our concerts are threatened by inclement weather, they will be moved into Foundation Hall, located at the Zimmermann Symphony Center (2331 17th St. NW, Canton 44708). If the final concert at Petros Lake Park is threatened by inclement weather, it will be moved to Umstattd Hall, located at 2323 17th St. NW, Canton 44708. Please call 330-452-2094 (CSO box office) or 330-409-8096 (Stark Parks’ phone line) to check for updates on concert locations.
