A special evening awaits you facing the sea: the hits of Sting, hundreds of candles, the magical atmosphere of the ancient Armenian monastery, and a live performance by a jazz ensemble led by Tomer Hesseg. Sting's beloved songs – including Shape of My Heart, Englishman in New York, Fragile, Every Breath You Take, Desert Rose and more – will receive warm, lively and sensitive jazz arrangements. Not a large orchestral show, but an intimate musical experience, where the music, the sea breeze and the magic of old Jaffa come together into one experience. At the center of the evening stands Tomer Hesseg. With his warm, distinctive voice and musical sensitivity, he gives Sting's songs a new interpretation – deep, personal and moving. Just imagine: Fragile playing by the light of hundreds of candles, Desert Rose taking on a gentle Eastern hue, Englishman in New York telling a story of freedom and independence, and Shape of My Heart filling the night with the quiet, stirring romance so closely associated with Sting's music. This isn't just a tribute show. It's a musical encounter in which the beloved songs are given new life: in the dialogue between the voice and the jazz ensemble, between the ancient monastery and the sea, and between the memory of the great hits and their new interpretation here and now. Participants: Vocals — Tomer Hesseg, an Israeli singer, conductor and composer. Holds a doctorate in music, a graduate of the Beit Zvi School for the Performing Arts, soloist and conductor with some of Israel's leading ensembles. Jazz ensemble — musicians of the SymFunny Orchestra, in a jazz ensemble format. Classically trained musicians with rich experience on leading stages, alongside extensive activity in Israel's contemporary music scene. Please note: the concert takes place in an open area on the grounds of an ancient monastery by the sea. Evenings by the sea can be cool, so we recommend bringing a light scarf or something warm in case of cool weather. There is no bar or café on the monastery grounds. Entry to the monastery is from the Jaffa promenade side, not through the old city. See you among the candles, the music and the sea of the evening!
