Night in New York. Jazz by Candlelight in the Armenian Monastery
Night in New York. A Jazz Evening on the Terrace Overlooking the Sea
The summer air, infused with the scent of the Mediterranean. The soft glow of candlelight. A terrace of an ancient Armenian monastery, perched above the coastline. And — jazz. Real, live, heartfelt.
On this night, we invite you to be transported to nocturnal New York — the city where the magic of jazz was born. Where the lights of Times Square shimmer at dusk, and velvet voices echo from Harlem clubs:
"What a wonderful world…"
As the sun sets, the monastery walls will fill with the music of legends: Sinatra. Fitzgerald. Armstrong. Charles.
And the voice guiding this journey — Sophie Chudnovsky — a jazz vocalist and actress with a remarkable artistic path, spanning from the St. Petersburg stage to Netflix, from musicals to Israel’s premier venues.
This is more than just a concert. It’s an echo of New York, traced in the arches of an old monastery and bathed in golden sunset light.
Jazz. Sea. Candles. And you.
🎷 Lineup:
Sophie Chudnovsky — jazz singer, multi-instrumentalist, voice actress (Netflix), vocal coach, soloist of the Haifa Big Band, and resident of Gig House. Former soloist with St. Petersburg orchestras and head of the pop department at the Elena Obraztsova Music Academy.
