Spring of 2010 was about to burst forth in North Carolina by the time we arrived there last week.  Our spring tour began in Columbus, OH at Columbus Early Music, where we met new and old friends and presented a concert in the Vatican's only property in the US.  We travelled to North Carolina with a first stop in the almost mystical town of Asheville, where we dined far above our clerkly stations, finding much beauty in the landscape, the people, and the art.  Mark also found some wonderful gluten free options for dining!

Our subsequent stops included a concert and masterclass at Guilford college in Greensboro, Drew's vocal masterclass at East Carolina University, replete with terrific singers in a wide variety of styles and voice types, and a final concert at UNC Pembroke, which was preceded by stops at two phenomenal local barbeque stands.  Can you tell Trefoil likes eating the local cuisines?  

Our visit ended just as the mockingbirds began to sing and the flowering trees were in bloom.
