The Song of the Meadowlark is Heard
Oct 14, 2004

PHOENIX/SCOTTSDALE (Thursday, October 14, 2004) — Meadowlark, the nationally acclaimed “New World Music” duo, will be performing in The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa’s Dreamweavers Canyon through the end of the year – Fridays & Saturdays, from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. For more information, call 480-624-1030.

Guitarist Rick Cyge and flutist Lynn Trombetta meld influences as diverse as Celtic, African and Mediterranean for a sound that is uniquely their own. Since 1993, Meadowlark has performed in various configurations from the core duo to a full quartet. Their music is the perfect medium to allow guests to relax, unwind and let go of the day.

In addition, The Westin Kierland’s “Irish Pipes at Sunset” series is back with bagpiper Michael McClanathan. In keeping with the resort’s “Essence of Arizona” theme, the Irish Pipes at Sunset series pays tribute to the contributions made by the Irish immigrants to the development of Arizona’s railroads, mines and towns. McClanathan plays daily in Dreamweavers Canyon at sunset—5:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. in October, 5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. in November and December.

A bagpiper with 40 years of experience, McClanathan has acquired numerous medals and trophies as a result of his success in various competitions. He has performed before such dignitaries as the Lord Mayor of London and President George Bush, and for the opening day ceremonies of a variety of state legislatures.

Combine this “joyful noise” with a libation and appetizer. Westin Kierland’s multilevel lobby makes the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset - whether you choose to relax in The Rim Lobby Lounge (named after the Mogollon Rim), the Ali-Shonak Library (a Native American term meaning Place of Small Springs), Waltz & Weiser Saloon (Lost Dutchman Mine legend) or simply al fresco in Dreamweaver’s Canyon. The gentle spring weather and spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains and rolling hills of the Kierland Golf Club make a perfect end to the day.

The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa features 735 rooms with 63 suites and 32 casita units; 175,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space; eight food and beverage venues; a full-service spa and fitness studio; an elaborate water park; Westin Kids Club®; and the 27-hole Kierland Golf Club, which opened in 1996. As an added benefit, The Westin Kierland is adjacent to and a short walk from Kierland Commons, one of the hottest new shopping and dining districts in the Valley.
