The Canton Symphony Orchestra invites you to and evening of food, wine, opera, and auction at Opera in the Vineyard – In Place 2018 on June 24 at 4pm at the Gervasi Vineyard Pavilion.

Along with the seated dinner at Gervasi, this year In Place features a small concert by two of New York’s rising opera stars Jodi Karem, soprano, and Nicholas Simpson, tenor. These two vocalists have put together an exciting concert of famous opera duets, sure to entertain the audience with passion fit for the venue.
