In 1997, one of Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s most ardent supporters, Kathryn Clauss, had an idea. She wanted to bring the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra to Nantucket to host a benefit concert for the hospital. No one believed she could pull it off, but with a lot of hard work and help from friends, she did.
For over 20 years, thousands of Nantucketers have helped to make the Boston Pops on Nantucket a success. This video highlights a few stories from some of the people involved from the beginning.
