The Four Seasons — Vivaldi and Piazzolla in an ancient monastery by the sea — Candlelit Concert

The flawless harmony of Antonio Vivaldi’s Italian Baroque, the sensuality of Astor Piazzolla’s Argentine tango, and the passion of Israeli musicians will meet on the stage of an ancient Armenian monastery in Jaffa.

On the open terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, Lumina Trio will perform the program “The Four Seasons.” Unique arrangements for violin, cello, and piano will allow you to hear these famous works in a new way—emotionally and remarkably modern.

Two eras, two musical worlds, one stage. Piazzolla’s fiery rhythms will intertwine with Vivaldi’s lightness and transparency. Instead of traditional concert halls: a sunset over the sea, the glow of hundreds of candles, and the ancient monastery walls, preserving the atmosphere of centuries.

Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” are filled with light and movement: spring streams, summer storms, golden autumn, and winter silence. Almost three centuries later, Piazzolla created his own “The Four Seasons”—passionate, temperamental, and urban. Instead of rural landscapes, there are the streets of Buenos Aires; instead of pastoral tranquility, the energy of a big city, nostalgia, and tango.

Come watch the sunset over the Mediterranean to the sounds of two great musical masterpieces. On the roof of the ancient monastery in Jaffa, they will sound especially beautiful.

Performers: “Lumina Trio”

• Ilya Vulf (violin)
• Monica Broshko (piano)
• Igor Tankevich (cello)

Please note: The concert takes place in an open-air venue on the grounds of an ancient monastery by the sea. It may be cool by the sea in the evening, so we recommend bringing a light shawl 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 Jaffa promenade side, not through the Old City.

See you among the candles, music, and evening sea!
