Ripley Presents: Triton
Friday, June 6, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
Live and LivestreamedMusic rooted in the traditional dance repertoire of Northwestern Europe.
Please join us for the dynamic trio, Triton, featuring piano accordion, the quieter, bellows-blown bagpipes, and fiddle and nyckelharpa. From festival and intimate house concerts to BalFolk, Breton, and New England contra dances, Triton moves body and soul alike.
Instrumentalists Jeremiah McLane, Timothy Cummings, and Alex Kehler create a beguiling and orchestral blend which utterly subverts the common stereotypes of their Old World instruments. Their repertoire includes bourrées from central France, triple-time hornpipes from the Scottish Borders, the Swedish slängpolska, the Breton hanter dro, and compelling originals reflecting these influences. Unified by their zeal and musical craftsmanship, their performances are also punctuated with engaging commentary on the music and instruments.
“You might say that all three of these highly accomplished musicians could play anything and everything you could throw at them, and they would make it sound amazing.”

Alex Kehler, born in Nova Scotia and now from southern Québec, is a multi-instrumentalist who studied classical Baroque music. He has played in a number of other highly esteemed bands including La Nef, Skye Consort and the Kehler-Williams Duo.
