LIBERA: The Christmas concert

CEBU, Philippines - The distinctive sound of LIBERA (www.libera.org.uk) has traveled the world in the last few years. After the group’s first visit to Cebu last October 2009 which became a remarkable success, they are coming back for another concert on Friday, October 28, 2011 at the Pacific Grand Ballroom, Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.

During LIBERA’s first visit to Cebu their concert repertoire for the tour included "Orinoco Flow," by Enya, which makes reference to the island of Cebu. The encore song was "Bayan Ko," which they sang in Tagalog.

LIBERA is an all-boy English vocal group directed by Robert Prizeman and most members come from the parish choir of St. Philip's, Norbury in South London. Their most recent release, "Peace," was #1 in the UK, Japanese and Philippines classical charts; in the US, it peaked at #2 and hit the Heat Seekers chart.

The boys in the group, under the musical direction of Robert Prizeman, come together to produce truly extraordinary music with results unlike any other vocal group around today.

The concert coincides with the release of LIBERA’s highly-anticipated first Christmas album.

With their exciting mix of secular and sacred Christmas favorites including "Joy to the World," "O Holy Night," "The First Noel," "Carol of the Bells," "In Dulci Jubilo" and "White Christmas," join Libera as they bring in the holiday season with a Christmas album packed in Deluxe CD set that includes exclusive song cards.
