"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."
