During the Mindfulness in Concert festival, music, meditation, and awareness come together in a warm and inviting event at De Oosterpoort. In three halls, you can experience the power of sound, breath, and attention through lying concerts, workshops, performances, and live music.

From breathing exercises to singing, from yoga to stillness: the program is broad and enriching, featuring contributions from Iris Kroes, Jan Kuiper, Yvonne de Hoop, Jan Klug, and special guest Nessi Gomes. Be inspired by the Mindfulness in Concert performance, attend a lying concert, meet remarkable people at the information market, expand your knowledge during workshops or demos, and experience what it truly feels like to be present in the moment.

Special Guest: Nessi Gomes
Nessi Gomes blends Portuguese fado and British artpop into intimate songs full of emotional depth. Her music explores silence but is also powerful and confronting. You can hear both the melancholy of fado and the adventurous spirit reminiscent of Björk and Kate Bush in her work.
