Just hope the vaccine works and distribution goes well and we will soon be able to see them on stage once again

It's been over 7 years since their last and only visit to Taiwan, missing the vibe and harmony they made on the stage :D

Welcome to Libera Dreams! I gather you are from Taiwan then? Good to have even more people here from all around the world who support this choir. Would be even better if you decided to introduce yourself over on the new member sub-forum :wink: as we love hearing how others discovered Libera and what their favorite songs are. :D

So - that's finished.
:o Well, evidently language is constantly subject to change. I always thought that final means final. :lol: Here is Deep Peace, published yesterday.
So as the last videos were released in a more or less fortnightly rhythm, may we expect Total Praise for the weekend of 20th March?

And here are their concert photos:

How nice to see these and be reminded of that special night in December!
For some reason I like the black and white photos in particular.
And Victor always has a smile ready, even in such trying circumstances. Wonderful :)

Total Praise, just released:

Well, it wasn't a challenge to foresee it, was it? Libera is reliable. 8) :wink: The far more interesting question is: Now that all of the "old" songs are done, will Libera continue in that same rhythm with the three new ones? Or are they stopping now in order to wait for the time around the album release?

I believe that's Alexandre.

:shock: WHAT?! :lol: You must watch the concert immediately and write a full review!

He is really good.
I think Dominik has been the stand out soloist from this generation. And coming up after him is Luca.

When you watch this concert it’s so noticeable how much of a growth spurt Laurence T, Oliver W-R and Alex Menuet had had even from the 2020 summer online concert. It’s likely all three will be singing tenor/baritone at the 2021 Christmas concert, if they’re still in the group.
