Re: 2023 - Two UK Concerts in December

Does anyone who has attended a Libera concert ever remember a boy singing a solo part, even a very small part, on his debut concert? Daniel White Westminster Dec 2017, This is what I wrote at the time: "Lovely performance of “Carol of the Bells” (over 6 million plays on YouTube) came next with...

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)

Probably many of the comments in Cyrillic script are Ukrainian. Very similar to Russian. It's their tune.

Re: 2023 US Tour

Very nice concert. Everyone was in perfect control. The deep voices were present, with 6 boys back row and novelty, ambient microphones located in front of the 6 bigs. Dominic also wore an individual mike. The "bigs" made a large and valuable contribution to several of the songs. Most imp...

Re: 2023 - Two UK Concerts in December

How do you become a patron? See https://www.sjss.org.uk/support-us Libera seats are already almost sold out. Contrast this with the concert by New College Oxford (arguably a more famous choir) where only two front row seats have been sold so far and about 200 premium seats are still available. A go...

Re: Malakai Bayoh

Difficult to strike a balance between a piece that which would fully demonstrate the superior quality of his voice and that which would appeal to the great unwashed (generally not opera). Any suggestions as to what might have worked?

No surprise really. Remember when Libera lost "When Will I Be Famous" to a human slinky? The British Public are bonkers.

What is the difference between the black and burgundy passports?
Post Brexit new passports are a very dark blue (not black). Same colour as they were before the EU.

Re: New Years Video & Japan Concerts?

Libera (Japan?) posted a New Years message from Libera in which they announce concerts in Japan in October. So is Libera committed to concerts in Korea, Japan and the US this year?
