Adele Jazz Tribute in an Ancient Monastery by the Sea

An evening of music, hundreds of candles, and the warm sea air on the roof of an ancient monastery in Jaffa.

Under the arches of the Armenian monastery, the main songs of Adele will be performed — fragile, powerful, familiar from the very first notes. "Rolling in the Deep," "Skyfall," "Someone Like You," "Hello," and other hits will acquire a new sound in jazz arrangements.

On stage is Sofa Chudnovskaya, a jazz singer, Netflix voice actress, and one of the brightest vocalists on the Israeli jazz scene.

Evening Jaffa. The sea beyond the monastery walls. Hundreds of candles, a jazz band, and the music of Adele in a new sound.

"Love in the Dark," "Easy On Me," "Set Fire to the Rain" — songs that have always contained too much emotion for an ordinary concert hall. Here, they will be performed under the open sky, among the evening winds, city lights, and the salty air from the sea.

The keys, double bass, live vocals, and soft candlelight will create an atmosphere rich with the sincerity, depth, and beauty of emotions that people love Adele for.

Just imagine the poignancy of "Love In The Dark" amidst the fading lights of a big city... The sound of the keys dissolving into the sky, among the salty sprays and evening coolness. "There's a fire starting in my heart..."

After all, these are the evenings that people love live music for.

Please note: the concert takes place in an open area on the grounds of an ancient monastery by the sea. It may be cool in the evening by the sea, so we recommend bringing a light wrap or something warm for cooler weather.

Also note that there is no bar or café on the monastery grounds.

Entrance to the monastery is from the Jaffa promenade, not through the Old City.

See you among the candles, music, and the evening sea!
