Re: UK Cathedral Concerts in 2024

Tickets for Ely are on sale as we speak. I had my hands on B2 but alas I need a credit card which I don’t currently have and arranging a virtual credit card would be too much hassle at this point. Hope to find a spare ticket somewhere (fingers crossed)

A perfect photo to caption with their names - I know less than half of them now.

Re: 2023 US Tour

Imagine receiving communion with Libera singing Anima Christi in the background - that’s a slice of pure heaven right there.

Was that Freddie singing the second verse? His pleading tone is extraordinary.

Also: what a precious moment to have a live recording of the Caccini Ave Maria 🙏🏻

Where was it streamed Maarten? I looked earlier but saw nothing on their website or Facebook page.
The US Libera Instagram account did a live broadcast

Re: 2023 US Tour

Hopefully these services will boost their ticket sales. I did not know about today’s livestream at all, though by chance I noticed it was on and caught a glimpse of it as it paused, asking for a request to join, which I sent - only to see the stream end moments later. At least I now know about tomor...

Re: 2023 - Two UK Concerts in December

Sad to say I’ve been out of the loop and missed this one. I would have had to choose anyway as I can’t afford to attend both SJSS and Arundel (money/timewise). Hopefully I’ll be able to attend the Arundel concert. How has everyone done on getting a (good) seat?

Re: Kizuna - Forever

The song in combination with the video is tugging at my heartstrings.
Morgan’s silky tender voice, the wind instruments in the finale, the camraderie of the boys, the pink and orange clouds, the waves… it almost makes me consider catching a plane to hear Kizuna in person.

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)

When I saw that they put ‘God Only Knows’ on their repertoire, I immediately thought of this video from 2009. The boys sang ‘Love and Mercy’ for Brian Wilson at an award ceremony and he commented on the boys’ singing (at 0:50 and 3:20): https://youtu.be/ZbvqB3UmWGQ I had always wondered whether they...

Re: St John's Smith SQ Concert 2022 - Dec 4th

No full review this time, just the highlights and special moments for me. Which still makes for a long read :wink: As I sat in the front row and the stage was super close to the audience, with no barrier or orchestra between us and the singers, I totally felt part of the whole experience. Walking in...

Re: Summer Concerts 2022 - Brighton & Chichester

Sadly I have to cancel. Brighton A20 (front row) and Chichester H5 (proper view of the stage) are now again for sale, send a DM if interested.

Re: Summer Concerts 2022 - Brighton & Chichester

The fear of only getting ‘bad’ seats is unfounded. It’s nearly two hours after the general sale started and there are still premium seats available for both concerts.

Re: Summer Concerts 2022 - Brighton & Chichester

Once again: really hoping for good attendance. All these reactions make me tend toward trying to go. I just wish to support them so much. So what if you have a less decent seat for once? It’s still Libera and we can’t always have top seats all the time. Appreciate good seats when they’re there, and ...

Re: Summer Concerts 2022 - Brighton & Chichester

Really hoping for a good attendance for these concerts. Though personally, it’s kind of hard to decide. My brother is coming over from Canada that weekend and I would like to spend time with him. For those undecided on Chichester: the cathedral itself is amazing and totally worth a visit. The town i...

Re: Concert in Ely Cathedral, May 2022

For me the most enjoyable moment of a concert is the second, before it starts. To quote A.A. Milne: “Well”, said Pooh, “what I like best —“ and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was bett...
