Opening Night: 
Québec to Brittany

Le Vent du Nord | Triton | Diarmuid Ó Meachair

Don’t miss the spectacular power of Québec supergroup Le Vent du Nord. Ferocious and fun in equal measure, this band will kick off our Friday night mainstage concert with unparalleled energy.

The evening also features the innovative, Breton-inspired sounds of the trio Triton, featuring accordionist Jeremiah McLane, the small-pipes of Tim Cummings and Alex Kehler on nyckelharpa. A completely unique, reed-y sound with repertoire from the Celtic region of Brittany. And keeping us rooted in the traditional Irish repertoire from County Cork Ireland, we feature one of the most exciting young accordionists and singers on the scene today, Diarmuid Ó Meachair in duo with Baltimore’s sought after pianist Matt Mulqueen.

Thank you to our Rockport Celtic Festival Corporate Partners!

The artists will announce the program from the stage.
