Smoking...there is a lot of smoking. After breakfast we head to our first Master Class. It was very interesting watching the young men and women being coached to develop a better english sound. Actually, they speak english very well. After lunch, we have a rehearsal and our first concert at Cappella Hall. This hall is located near the Hermitage. Wonderful acoustics in this hall. after the concert it's off to dinner. I'm not feeling well so I head to the hotel with a couple others.
