Re: Concert "Tölzer Knabenchor" Germany!

The "Tölzer Knabenchor" is one of many excellent boychoirs in Germany (two other examples are the Dresdner Kreuzchor and the Thomanerchor). One of the TK's most impressive singers is Elias Mädler. Here are two Youtube videos posted in November 2016 and February 2019 which give you an idea ...

Re: 2018 US Summer Tour

Many thanks for all the online Forum reviews of the current Libera tour in the US. For those of us who are not able to attend the concerts, these reviews provide wonderful insights into the latest accomplishments of this impressive choir. As always, the consistent record of excellence that has been ...

Re: Beyond

Thanks for posting this older video of "Lux Aeterna" by Libera. It's hard to believe that so many years have passed since this brilliant solo performance by Adam Harris!

Photo book "A Libera Year"

I was pleased to receive today a copy of the 128-page photo book "A Libera Year" that I purchased from Libera's online shop. Wonderful photos for Libera families, friends and fans! If the choir produces another book next year, I hope that they will add some captions and/or more detailed wr...

Re: Wiener Sängerknaben

The evolution of the Wiener Sängerknaben provides a cautionary lesson to other choirs, i.e. that even a choir with centuries of tradition can lose its way when it compromises on its musical standards. I'm old enough to remember attending a WSK concert 50 years ago, and my impression is that its stan...

Re: Ely Cathedral 29th April 2017

I visit the UK several times a year, but unfortunately until now my visits have never managed to coincide with Libera's concert schedule. For example, this year I will be arriving in London one month after the concert at Ely Cathedral. I would be delighted to be able to take my family with me to see...

Re: London Concert - 2nd December 2106

I join others in thanking Yorkie for the detailed review of Libera's 2 December 2016 concert. It's been nearly 6 years since I attended a Libera concert and so it's great to read these updates about how this wonderful choir continues to evolve under the always-impressive leadership of Robert Prizeman.

Re: Continental Europe Tour Summer 2016

World Youth Day 2016 in Poland presented Libera with some big challenges. Overall, however, performing at WYD was probably a net plus for Libera, as hundreds of thousands of people were able to learn about the choir for the first time. It is especially helpful when one of these people is the Pope! O...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Thanks for drawing our attention to the latest video from the superb Escolania de Montserrat boychoir in northeastern Spain's Catalonia region (or Catalunya as they say in the Catalan language). This is a wonderful choir that deserves a lot more international recognition. I follow them on Twitter bu...

Re: Japan Christmas Tour 2015

Thanks for bringing this amazing album of Libera photos from Japan to our attention! It's almost like having a web-cam following the choir at each event in the tour.

Re: Wiltener Sängerknaben - CD liner notes

Thanks for the correction. It's good to know about the Austrian connection. Incidentally, besides the Wiltener and Vienna boychoirs, does Austria have any other boychoirs?

Re: Wiltener Sängerknaben - CD liner notes

Thanks for drawing our attention to the Wiltener Sängerknaben, another of Germany's impressive boychoirs. Their website saengerknaben.com is very well organised and has some material in English too.

Re: This seems like an awesome place!

Speaking of awesome places, the country in which you are located --- Ethiopia --- would be a fascinating place for Libera to visit one day, particularly with that country's ancient Christian tradition. This might not be a realistic option in the near future, but the Libera Dreams forum is a logical ...

Re: South Korea Tour 2016

I hope that this possible Chinese addition to the Korean tour works out. Distance-wise, it would be feasible, and this would be a wonderful opportunity for Libera to introduce itself to the world's most populous country!
