The Canton Symphony Orchestra recognizes the need for change within the classical music world. For too long, the traditions of this art form have overlooked many communities whose voices and contributions deserve to be heard.
As a regional orchestra, we believe that meaningful change begins right here – within our own community.
Through Orchestrating Change, we aim to open conversations that make the concert hall a more welcoming space for all, while fostering greater inclusion, representation, and diversity both on stage and beyond.

In this episode of Orchestrating Change we step outside the world of orchestral music to look at the music industry at large. Frequent guest artist with the Canton Symphony, Angie Haze, discusses the difficulties for independent musicians and the shift to online performance. What does it take for someone to become successful in this industry and why is cross genre support important to the survival of all genres of music?
Award Winning Singer Songwriter, Angie Haze is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer. Her latest sound is evocative and experimental with a new, creep-pop appeal. Riveting and poignant, it features haunting vocal arrangements and diverse instrumentation. Haze fearlessly uncovers her viability as a way to enlighten and connect people. Her story of survival never fails to influence change. Angie Haze’s gritty performance features five-part vocal arrangements and a wide variety of musicians. Her band represents commonality that reflects the voices of distinct cultures. They clearly demonstrate compassion and a bond necessary to continue.
