Libera is seeing an increased following in the United States with their compelling arrangements and moving performances of classical, sacred, and contemporary songs.

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys said, "When I heard Libera sing it reminded me a lot of the Beach Boys - but actual boys - it actually brought me to tears."

The choir is an international success story from South London, UK. Their albums are top sellers in many countries, including USA, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

The choir's m ajor US TV appearances include 'The Tonight Show' and 'Today'. Broadcast nationwide on PBS, 2013-2019. Full length, fully staged performances in the US including Washington DC, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, and California. The choir is the only British artists to sing at a Papal Mass for 70,000 at Yankee Stadium. They were featured artists at World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, Poland with a live audience of 1.6 million. A new Libera album will be released in 2019.

While the unique sound of Libera may be difficult to categorize, its universal appeal has endeared the group to fans all over the world.

The boys' distinctive white robes recall Libera's traditional origins, yet their music -- which is at once both ancient and modern -- reaches across the generations to a wide audience.

With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are quite different from other well-known boy choirs.

The singers of Libera -- aged seven to sixteen -- attend many different local schools in South London and come from a variety of backgrounds.
