The magical sounds of Libera enchant audiences across the world – from Moscow to Manila, from Westminster to Washington, and even on Viking cruise ships. The boys’ distinctive white robes recall Libera’s traditional origins, yet their music reaches across the generations to a wide audience. The unique sound of Libera is impossible to pigeonhole, but it appeals to fans worldwide.
The boys in Libera are aged seven to sixteen. They come from many backgrounds and all are at schools in south London. Although they are boys and they sing, they do not think of themselves as choirboys, but rather as an alternative kind of boy band.
In October 2021, Libera’s new album, ‘IF’, soared high in the classical charts in the UK, US and Japan. This album features music in a variety of styles, including songs based on classical works such as Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Vivaldi’s Nisi Dominus and Schubert’s Ave Maria.
Libera is familiar to UK audiences through its many TV appearances and live performances in venues from Westminster Cathedral and the South Bank in London to the Edinburgh Festival and many of our great cathedrals. The boys are regularly to be heard on Classic FM and Scala Radio, as well as on TV programmes like Songs of Praise.
Online the boys are extremely popular, too. They have had more than 150 million views on YouTube and millions of plays on Spotify.
Tickets cost £35 or £25; concessions are £25 or £20. They are available from Ely Cathedral Box Office, tel 01353 660349, email box.office@elycathedral.org or online from https://www.elycathedral.org/events/libera
