Libera return with their new album Peace. Familiar to audiences across the world, the boys have a stunningly original sound, which is at once both ancient and modern. Their distinctive flowing white robes symbolise the traditional origins of their style - yet their music reaches across the generations to a new mainstream audience. Libera's success in album charts around the world bears witness to the extraordinary appeal of this unique ‘boy band.’ Enchanting audiences wherever they go, they have attracted an enthusiastic fan base in many countries, particularly the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Korea and this year also in the Philippines. Peace follows the success of Libera’s best-selling albums Angel Voices, Free, Visions and New Dawn. Each CD has been characterised by the ensemble’s distinctive celestial, shimmering sound with mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies. The programme comprises songs drawn from plainsong and traditional hymns, based on themes by Mozart, Saint-Saëns, César Franck and Chopin and by Robert Prizeman and John Rutter. Libera is well known to British audiences through TV appearances and staged concerts at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, the Grassington Festival, Abbey Road Studios and Arundel Cathedral and at services in cathedrals and churches across the country. They have appeared as guests on BBC-TV’s ‘Last Choir Standing,’ on the soundtrack for a Waitrose TV campaign and as the subject of a documentary on ‘Songs of Praise.’ In recent months, the boys have appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, Dublin’s National Concert Hall and Belfast’s St Peter’s Cathedral. Libera tours are currently being arranged in the UK and the US. Tour dates will be announced on Libera's website when they have been confirmed.
