- Orchestra Canton - Establishing an “orchestra-in-residence” at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill had been proposed several years ago and inspired the formation of Orchestra Canton, now entering its third season. In addition to "casual classics" and pops performances, Orchestra Canton also hosts an annual “Fusion Festival” – a weekend long festival of a particular culture, including dance and instrumental workshops open to the public. Orchestra Canton is administered by the PCSS and is a separate performing ensemble.
