June 4th - Meadowlark Performs at Tlaquepaque

Meadowlark will be performing in the Patio del Norte for the First Friday in the Galleries on Friday, June 4th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Guitarist Rick Cyge and flutist Lynn Trombetta play with flutes, pennywhistles, guitar and mandolin for an amazing combination of music.

Piano was Rick’s first instrument -- learned initially in the lap of his grandmother who encouraged him at an early age by giving him her piano. Rick’s subsequent years of study developed a deep understanding and appreciation for the elements of composition, harmony and counterpoint.

For Arizona native, Lynn, music and art were, from an early age, the creative expression that flowed freely from her connection to nature. A childhood home on a lake in Northern California and summers spent playing her flute and pennywhistle in the canyons of Oak Creek in Sedona, deepened this connection that was, as she states, "the fuel that fed the fire."

Rick and Lynn found their connection with each other in 1991 while working together at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts in Arizona. Rick, a veteran musician with roots in the folk scene around Boston, Massachusetts, discovered his love of Celtic music was shared by Lynn. In 1993, Rick was given the opportunity to perform weekly at an outdoor cafe, The Farm at South Mountain, in a beautiful pecan orchard. Lynn joined him on several tunes and the response to the music the two created together was so universal that the owner insisted they do the weekly performance as a duo. The concept for Meadowlark was airborne.
