Adele Jazz Tribute
in an old monastery by the sea

An unforgettable evening of music, candlelight, and warm sea air awaits on the rooftop of a historic monastery in Jaffa.

Beneath the arches of the Armenian Monastery, Adele’s most beloved songs will come to life — intimate, powerful, and instantly recognizable from the very first note. Rolling in the Deep, Skyfall, Someone Like You, Hello, and other iconic hits will be reimagined through elegant jazz arrangements, revealing new shades of emotion and depth.

Taking the stage is Sophie Chudnovski — acclaimed jazz vocalist, Netflix voice actress, and one of the most distinctive voices on Israel’s contemporary jazz scene.

As evening falls over Jaffa and the Mediterranean shimmers beyond the monastery walls, hundreds of candles will illuminate a unique open-air setting where Adele’s music finds a new home.

Love in the Dark, Easy On Me, Set Fire to the Rain — songs that have always carried more emotion than an ordinary concert hall can contain. Here, they will unfold beneath the open sky, accompanied by the sea breeze, the glow of city lights, and the sound of a live jazz ensemble.

Piano, double bass, drums, and soulful vocals come together to create an atmosphere that captures everything audiences love about Adele’s music: honesty, vulnerability, and emotional depth.

Imagine the tenderness of Love in the Dark drifting through the evening air as the city lights fade in the distance. Piano melodies dissolve into the night sky, mingling with the scent of the sea and the cool Mediterranean breeze.
“There’s a fire starting in my heart…”

These are the evenings that remind us why live music matters.

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