I would agree with the previous description of Libera. I saw them perform last Saturday in San Antonio and thoroughly enjoyed it. Several times I was moved to tears by the beauty of the harmonies and the angelic sound that they produce. Amazing that they can memorize all the songs, along with where they're supposed to stand for each song. And the soloists come across as relaxed, old pros. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to tackle something like that when I was their age. I would definitely recommend going to see them should they come to a venue near you.

It will come as no surprise that those dates fall during UK school holiday dates.

Libera must have substantial financial backing to make three transatlantic trips possible in one year, especially with only five concerts announced to date. More power to them, for making the journey so often!

Actually, the title of the song is "America the Beautiful."

Libera will be performing at two special venues at the end of this month: 27 July 2015 Exeter, UK, Exeter Cathedral, Time: 7.30pm
and 28 July 2015 Christchurch, UK Christchurch Priory Time: 7.30 pm.

Both are glorious venues; Christchurch Priory could easily be a cathedral, and is over 900 years old.
