About this Event

12 iconic songs. One unforgettable voice. Just Adele — through strings, piano and silence.

A voice that defined a generation. A sound that cuts through silence. A woman who turned heartbreak into art. The Best of Adele invites you to experience the emotional power of Adele’s music as never before — in a cinematic, instrumental performance by the renowned Mystery Ensemble in an intimate church setting lightened by a flicker of hundreds of candles.In this one-hour concert, soaring string arrangements reveal the architecture behind Adele’s songs: the ache, the weight, the quiet strength. From the first piano note of Hello to the final pulse of Chasing Pavements, every melody is reborn in shimmering acoustics, with no words needed to feel every word.This is not a tribute concert. It’s a curated, immersive experience — somewhere between a film score, a diary, and a love letter.

About venue

Greyfriars Kirk is one of Edinburgh’s most historic and atmospheric churches, located in the very heart of the Old Town. Founded in 1620, the Kirk is closely woven into Scotland’s national story — most famously associated with the signing of the National Covenant in 1638. Surrounded by the iconic Greyfriars Kirkyard, the building stands as a powerful symbol of faith, heritage, and resilience.

The interior offers a striking combination of historic gravitas and luminous openness. Elegant arches, tall windows, and beautifully restored features create a space that feels both dignified and welcoming. The balance of intimacy and scale

makes the Kirk particularly well-suited to concerts that seek emotional immediacy within an architectural setting.

Renowned for its clear and resonant acoustics, Greyfriars Kirk provides an exceptional environment for choral works, chamber ensembles, sacred repertoire, and candlelit performances. Sound carries naturally beneath the vaulted ceiling, allowing music to unfold with warmth, presence, and expressive clarity.

In the cultural heart of Edinburgh, Greyfriars Kirk offers a venue where centuries of history meet the living voice of contemporary performance — a space where music resonates within one of Scotland’s most storied settings.
