Hello, Libera Dreams!
I'm happy to finally make my way to this site. I am excited at the opportunity to really engage with other Libera fans and listeners. My real life friends - supportive as they are - can only take so much of my going on and on about how amazing this group of singers is.
I discovered Libera about 2 years ago when I was looking for a video game song (of all things) that featured a young male soloist. I happened upon Libera during that search and their first song I heard was "Adoramus." Having had a childhood filled with singing myself, I was realllly impressed. That led me to find more and more of their music. Before I knew it, Libera comprised basically 100% of my listening. I simply cannot get enough.
I had the pleasure of going to my first Libera concert this summer while they were in America. I made the long trip from Wyoming to Garden Grove, California with some friends and it was sincerely one of the top musical experiences of my life. (My profile picture is of that very concert; I am pictured on the far left.) Given that I am surrounded here by other fans of Libera, it's likely that I don't need to drone on too long about how lifting and fulfilling that concert was. I'll just say that it is certainly in my top ten life moments at this time, and I will DEFINITELY be looking for another opportunity to see them live as soon as realistically able. I now (proudly) own more Libera merchandise than I know what to do with.
Aside from all that, I am an Elementary School Teacher turned Youth Arts Director in my home town. I have the privilege of teaching three different singing groups myself. I teach preschool choir, a non-audition choir for K-3 kids, and an auditioned choir for grades 3-5. Libera helps to enrich this musical side of me greatly, though I try super hard to not compare my singers to Libera.
I'm glad to be here, and I'm hoping to make connections with the many others who love and appreciate this group of singers. Greetings from Wyoming!
