The group's albums have topped both mainstream and classical charts in many countries, and their recordings hold their place in top-tens alongside major artists like Bocelli. </b><BR>The boys who make up the vocal band Libera have been described as ''normal'' and ''ordinary''. However, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is truly extraordinary. With shimmering, mystical chords and estatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have heard. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time.<BR>The singer of Libera attend different local schools in South London and come from a variety of backgrounds. Although they are boys and they sing, they do not think of themselves as choirboys, but rather as an alternative kind of boy band.<BR>While the unique sound of Libera may be impossible to pigeonhole, its universal appeal has endeared the group to fans all over the world, particularly in the US, the UK, the Philippines, South Korea and Japan, where their CDs top the mainstream and classical charts and where they pack concert halls appearing in their trademark flowing white robes on imaginatively lit stages.<BR>The Libera ''Hope'' album features a mixture of secular and sacred repertoire for music lovers seeking peace and respite in the midst of today's chaotic world, from the traditional Salve Regina and the haunting San Damiano to the beloved standards From A Distance and Smile.<BR>The singers of Libera, aged seven to sixteen, are the only choir who have performed to 2 Popes. Libera headed into the recording studio having 'warmed up' with a memorable performance at World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland 2016, to an audience of 1.6 million.
