All good seats will be gone when peasants were allowed to purchase a seat...

As Padmachou stated, they performed and recorded the entire concert twice so as to be assured that any mishaps could be corrected in post-production. And in order for that to happen they would have to perform the concert on two separate nights. If you recall, they sang abridged concerts in 2021 and 2022 rather than a full-length concert exactly for this reason.
I always value your feedback, Surpinto. But, we say in the south, y’all are beginning to make me nervous. Admittedly, I had no idea two concerts were required for streaming. But, if we are going to suggest that putting together the stream is too much for Libera’s volunteer directors, then wouldn’t it imply that new albums, DVDs, and international tours would also be beyond reach.Surpinto wrote: ↑<span title="Sun Jul 24, 2022 4:45 pm">1 year ago</span>The other thing that we must consider is just how expensive and/or time consuming the editing is. Sam Coates, or whoever did the editing after the two SJSS concerts in 2020 and 2021, would need to spend many hours combining and mixing the audio and video. Remember, there are zero full-time paid Libera staff. Every single person involved with the choir maintains full-time employment elsewhere. Nearly all are unpaid volunteers.
I think there's no need to read too much into this. They will tour when the money, time and circumstances allow. When that will be is probably only known by a select few in Libera.Cainmac wrote: ↑<span title="Sun Jul 31, 2022 4:20 pm">1 year ago</span>I always value your feedback, Surpinto.

That last one scares me the most. I can’t imagine a future without another US tour. Okay, maybe a bit over-dramatic, but I choose faith in this Robert trained, Robert raised team (a team that appears to be growing). They choose to give of their time and talent to grow the next generations of singers. The summer concert reviews seem to support that they are succeeding in their mission. And there’s even talk of a new album.
So along with faith, I choose hope that this alumni team will carry on with concerts, tours, albums, DVDs, and even streaming. And, most importantly, that they carry on the tradition of developing and supporting young musicians in a way that changes their lives ever. That’s the incredible legacy that Robert has left.
I think you might be overthinking what I said . I didn't meant to suggest that suddenly because of Robert's passing they are unable to do streams, concerts, or the like. They have never been able to do those easily.Cainmac wrote: ↑<span title="Sun Jul 31, 2022 4:20 pm">1 year ago</span> I always value your feedback, Surpinto.
