[dani]

Just realised, for the first time in quite some years we have 3 sets of brothers on tour: Freddie and Thomas, Dom and Leon, and Pietro and Federico.

Thanks.
You missed a 4th set of brothers

Joseph and Ben Hill ?

Joseph and Ben Hill ?

I was under the impression they weren’t actually brothers, just happen to have the same surname.

[Padmachou]

They are mentioned as brothers on Libera Passion but I don't know the source of information. I always found they looked a bit alike but I thought maybe they were cousins. We know Joseph has a little sister but we never heard about a brother officialy ?

They are brothers. Before their sister was born, their mother said in an interview that she had "two young and hyperactive boys."

Looks like they replaced Orinoco with From a Distance, probably because it's an American song.

Who will sing Once an Angel? Hmmm...

Surely the encore has to be something like America the Beautiful or Smile?

The boys at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C.

Libera were last there (I think) in 2014, before some of the current crop were even born.

A summary of the Washington concert.
I hope I am not mistaken in my memories. I will correct after the next concert if necessary.

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.

A lot of echo in the huge basilica.

01) Vespera
Solo: Lucas. Couldn't see who was doing the solos. It should have been Oskar H like in April in Korea, but he wasn't on stage the whole concert. He was present at the rehearsal and signings. The concert was done at 33 and not 34.

02) Sanctus
High Notes by Luca

03) Wayfaring Stranger
Solo: Frederick H.

04) Ave Maria
Solo: Luca

05) From A Distance
Solo: Nathan

06) O Beata
Solo: Mitchel, with Victor behind him.

07) The Lighthouse
Solo: Luca, joined at the end by Daniel, Morgan, and Laurence D.

08) Voca Me
High Notes by Luca

09) Beati
Solo (at the start): Nathan and Pietro

10) Libera
Solo: Frederick M and Mitchel

11) Lux Aeterna
Introduction in plainsong, in procession in two rows, from the back of the stage, to the left and to the right.
Then solo: Morgan and Hal
Particularity: at the end the boys got into position for the next song (The Prayer), with Joseph standing in the front center and all the others kneeling behind him. Surprising to see them take the positions of the next song while still singing the previous song. The audience was unsettled and there was no applause after Lux Aeterna. There was, however, a gap between the two songs.

12) The Prayer
Solo: Joseph

13) Total Praise
New: a compact triangle formation, with Joseph at the forefront.
Solo: Joseph on the front lines. Then joined by Thomas S-H and Pietro on subsequent lines, then joined by several others, a cappella. Then everyone with music.

14) Ave Verum
Solo: Frederick M.
Small changes in the voice. He no longer makes certain long sustained notes at once but twice, beginning and end.

15) I Am The Day
Solo: Morgan.
At the end, the call between high and low notes: Thomas M and Daniel.

16) Love Shine A Light
Solo: Mitchell

17) Once An Angel
Solo: Nathan and Frederick H.

18) God Only Knows
Solo: Luca and Daniel

19) Sing For Our World
chorus

20) (encore) Smile
Solo: Mitchel with Victor behind him
