The Nantucket Musical Arts Society was created to bring music to Nantucket Island. The Society hosts live concerts for the public throughout the summer. World-class artists, emerging stars, and classical and contemporary composers are featured throughout the season. Founded in 1959, the Nantucket Musical Arts Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing live music to the public. Through donations, ticket sales and volunteer efforts, the NMAS continues to bring unique music and concerts to Nantucket Island.
