In the light of hundreds of candles, under the vaulted ceilings of an ancient monastery in Jaffa, the music of one of the greatest contemporary composers — Hans Zimmer — will come alive.
A string quintet accompanied by a pianist will create a deep, spacious sound, conveying the drama and beauty of the masterpieces from films: “Rain Man,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “The Da Vinci Code,” and many others. Just imagine the sun setting over the sea to the title composition “Interstellar.” Hear the sound of waves and seagull cries under the music from “Pirates of the Caribbean.” This concert gathers all the splendor of Israeli evenings.
Hans Zimmer — holder of numerous awards, including an Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe. His music is worlds you want to dive into again and again.
This evening will be a rare opportunity to hear famous soundtracks performed live, in the unique atmosphere of ancient stone walls and the soft glow of candles.
The concert features musicians from the Rishon Le‑Zion Orchestra (orchestra of the Israeli Opera) and the Philharmonic Orchestra.
At the piano — Sergiy Nikityuk, virtuoso pianist, laureate of international competitions. Founder of Sergiy Nikityuk & Jazz Do It, concertmaster and teacher at the Municipal Conservatory of Hadara, author of the album 88 Piano Keys.
Please note: the concert takes place on an open stage on the grounds of the ancient monastery by the sea. In the evening by the sea it may be fresh, so we recommend bringing a light shawl or something warm in case of cool weather.
Also note that there is no bar or café on the monastery grounds.
Entrance to the monastery is from the Jaffa waterfront side, not through the Old City.
See you among the candles, music, and the evening sea.
