PURE SOUL NOURISHMENT!
Under the motto "As in Heaven", the Dutch sound and performance artist, who lives in Baden-Baden, together with his band, takes his guests on a musical journey for heart and soul into extraordinary worlds of sound.
Dreamlike music, mystical sound space experiences, mantra chants, Lex' soulful voice and silence combine to create a soothing and healing atmosphere that lingers long after the concert.
The concert's repertoire includes many of Lex van Someren's own compositions, sacred chants (mantras), and surprising improvisations - music that the musicians create together from the moment. With the sensitive

The chants and the enchantingly arranged and set music transform the concert space into a vibrant and devotional space of silence, where one can unwind and recover physically and mentally from the tensions of everyday life.
