"When Royston Nash
was hired as the new Music Director and Conductor of the Cape
Symphony Orchestra, then Board of Trustees President Robert
Neese remarked, “we’ll be lucky if we keep him
five years.” Royston Nash was chosen over 150 other
applicants. “He was just that good,” recalls Neese.
He
is even better today, and we are indeed, lucky. Twenty-five
extraordinary years later, Royston Nash is an icon of symphonic
music and he has shaped the Cape Symphony Orchestra into one
of the best and most respected in Massachusetts."
