Libera Returns to the US This Summer!

 Performances in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Chicago, St. Louis, 

Frisco/Dallas and Houston

July 24 - August 9, 2011

 

The boys who make up the South London based vocal band Libera have been described as “normal” and “ordinary”; however, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is anything but. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have ever heard. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time.

Familiar to audiences across the world, the boys have a stunningly original sound, which is at once both ancient and modern. Their distinctive flowing white robes symbolise the traditional origins of their style - yet their music reaches across the generations to a new mainstream audience. Libera’s success in album charts around the world bears witness to the extraordinary appeal of this unique ‘boy band’. Enchanting audiences wherever they go, they have attracted an enthusiastic fan base in many countries, particularly the US, UK, Japan, the Philippines and Korea.

They've sung for President Bush, have been featured at the Kennedy Center Honors, on Hour of Power and PBS. You may have heard them on the radio or in film soundtracks. Don't miss the chance to experience them - sight and sound - LIVE this summer!

LIBERA TOURING THE US AND PERFORMING FOR THE POPE

Regular readers of Sunlit Uplands will know that I frequently post choral music on Sunday, particularly videos of the English choir, Libera. This extraordinary group will be touring in the US northeast over the next few days, beginning with a concert in upstate New York, then Hartford, Albany and Pittsburgh, followed with a concert in New York City at the Riverside Church on Thursday, April 17, and culminating with the boys participating in Pope Benedict’s final mass at Yankee Stadium on April 20.

I strongly urge anyone who can possibly attend one of their concerts, to do so. You will not be disappointed. The concert in New York City at Riverside Church is sponsored by Libera itself. As they are a non-profit entity, they are eager to get the word out. Information about that event is here.

Information about Libera singing at Yankee Stadium for Pope Benedict XVI is here.

And finally, information about their newest album, not yet released in the United States, is here.
