A tribute concert to Frank Sinatra will take place by candlelight in an ancient monastery in Jaffa. The program includes “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way,” and other hits.
We invite you to a special evening—a tribute to the great voice of the 20th century. Hundreds of candles, sea views from the roof of a monastery, and unforgettable songs: Fly Me to the Moon, Strangers in the Night, My Way, Moon River, and many others.
On this evening, in an ancient Armenian monastery in Jaffa, where the air smells of the sea and the city lights dissolve into the darkness, you will hear Frank Sinatra’s legendary songs. The hits we know and love will be performed live by a jazz band and vocalist Tommer Hesseg—a singer with the voice, style, and charisma to capture the maestro’s inimitable spirit.
The warm light of hundreds of candles will create a unique atmosphere, while the concert hall is replaced by the endless sky overhead and the distant sound of waves. This is more than a concert—it is a journey through time, where Frank’s music and voice meet the atmosphere of the venue and a contemporary sound.
Together, we will sing Moon River and see the moon’s reflection on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. Strangers in the Night will ring out as the evening city sinks into twilight. New York, New York will shine like the lights of sleepless Tel Aviv. And in the finale—My Way, a declaration of love for life and music.
Performers
Vocals: Tommer Hesseg—an Israeli singer, conductor, and composer. He holds a doctoral degree in music and is a graduate of the Beit-Zvi School of Performing Arts, as well as a soloist and conductor of the country’s leading ensembles.
Jazz Band: Musicians from the Sum Funny Orchestra—an ensemble that brings together musicians with academic experience at leading theaters and philharmonic orchestras. Today, they are artists with the Haifa Symphony Orchestra and active participants in Israel’s contemporary music scene.
Please note
The concert takes place outdoors on the grounds of an ancient monastery by the sea. Evenings by the sea can be cool, so we recommend bringing a light wrap or something warm in case of chilly weather.
Please also note that there is no bar or café on the monastery grounds.
The monastery entrance is from the direction of the Jaffa promenade, not through the Old City.
See you among the candles, music, and evening sea!
