Libera sing for the US stars…

December 01st, 2007 by Libera

Nine of the Libera boys took centre stage last week in Washington DC where they closed the famous US’ musical awards celebration, the Kennedy Centre Honours. With President Bush and the likes of Robert De Niro, Steve Martin and Cameron Diaz in the audience the young singers, dressed in their distinctive white robes, poignantly sang the final song of the night, ‘Love and Mercy’ in honour of the principle award winner, Brian Wilson of the ‘Beach Boys’.

In a heart stopping moment, the harmonies of the ‘Libera’ singers enthralled the star studded audience with a ‘Beach Boys’ song which harked back to Brian’s early musical life as a choirboy. Fellow honouree Diana Ross was amongst many who were moved to tears as the boys held the audience spellbound.
After the performance the boys joined the glitzy celebration dinner where they met Brian Wilson and other celebrities including Steve Martin, Martin Scorsese and Vanessa Williams.

Their TV show filmed at a live concert in Holland is currently being shown on TV stations across the US. The Kennedy Honours Show will be transmitted on CBS on Boxing Day.
