Ripley Presents is pleased to welcome back Hank Wonder--a dynamic trio of musicians who return to Ripley Chapel with their special blend of songcraft and music making.

Somewhere on the musical map, where the twang of Classic Country meets the grit of Southern Soul, Hank Wonder marks a detour down a sonic stretch of unpaved road. The Boston-based trio of Annie Bartlett (fiddle and viola), Darren Buck (vocals), and Michael Loria (guitar) first came together in 2013 and have since crafted their very own soulful blend of Americana: equal parts down home and gussied up.

From Renaissance motets to vocal jazz harmony, four of Boston’s best vocalists celebrate the season with compelling duos, trios, and quartets.

Music rooted in the traditional dance repertoire of Northwestern Europe.

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
