Lex van Someren
An Artist who touches deeply
with his voice and his music
Born in the Netherlands, he has lived in Baden-Baden since 1997 and enchants his audiences in many European countries. On about 40 CDs and several DVDs, which he has produced together with his con-genial musical partner, Frank Steiner, and published in his own publishing house, he presents the enormous range of his artistic work as well as in the context of stage art, concerts and seminars. In his music, many tonal and rhythmic elements from many eras and cultures flow together and combine to create powerful soul music. His CDs are popular worldwide because they move the listener's heart across all borders.
"The musicians seem to merge with their instruments. That is the secret of their great art. This powerful music awakens deep longings and reminds us of dreams. Therefore, these sounds are very moving. The artists touch the soul sides with inexhaustible energy. This music is like warm light. It is like magic!"

Spherical music and sound space experiences with Lex van Someren & Band. The top-class musicians around the sound artist Lex van Someren master their instruments skillfully in the colorful light of the stage and create an unforgettable sound experience in the most creative way. Johannes Hustedt on the flute surprises almost every song with a different type of flute or the soprano saxophone. Cellist Vache Bagratuni often provides the singing counterpoint to the melody or the upper voice, while virtuoso percussionist Nils Tannert impresses on his huge arsenal of percussion and also comes into his own soloistically on the o-daiko and black drum with a lot of physical effort. Frank Steiner, who in addition to keyboard and trumpet playing is also the musical director of the group, lays a carpet of sound constantly shimmering in different colors as a foundation.
But the healing musical touches of the group around singer Lex van Someren do not stop there. The latter has a vocal range of four octaves. With his deep bass he wraps the listeners in a feel-good sound mantle or leads them with his head voice to undreamt-of mood heights. Together with his soul language - a melodic sequence of syllables - but also with mantras, or with a Hail Mary sung in Latin and German songs with deep-impacting lyrics that get under the skin, he opens up very special sound spaces in which there is also plenty of room for musical improvisations by the whole band.
The listeners can find an inner peace through the music and songs that just feels good. Already after a few songs this special spark jumps over to the majority of the visitors. Through their radiant, vibrant world of music, Lex van Someren and his artists convey a special message of peace that lingers long after the concert.
