Master Bayoh as imperious as ever. And still singing first treble at nearly 15 years of age.😳😳

TM looks like he’s had a wee growth spurt, and it’s wonderful to see him among the boys chosen for the Elijah solo. Looks like he’s starting to come into his own, which is fantastic news for us…😉, since I noticed at Christmas just how stunning his voice was becoming.

Good to see MS and VW there too. ❤️

Thanks for posting. 👍🏽

"The Japan Boys Choir Association had the opportunity to converse with Mr. Scott Price, the director of the renowned British boys’ choir, The Cardinal Vaughan Schola Cantorum, in March 2024. We discussed various aspects, ranging from the choir’s activities and history to their approach towards soloists.

The Cardinal Vaughan Schola Cantorum was established in 1980 at the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School in Kensington, London, England. Comprising boys aged 11 to 18, this liturgical choir is dedicated to education and the development of outstanding talent among its students. Born from the school’s music department, the Schola embodies tradition and elegance. Through exposure to British classics and traditional music, students learn the beauty of music. Today, they stand as one of the preeminent choirs in the United Kingdom."

It's in the form of an unlisted YouTube video that will be available for about a week, so you don't have to be available to watch live.

If a public school can do this, you'd think Libera could as well. Most churches and cathedrals are already set up to live stream these days. £6.00 is a fair price and nothing to sneeze at even if your viewership is in the hundreds and you have to split the revenue.

It would be great if Libera would also do a live stream of all there concerts.

It was a nice concert. I had some gripes about certain technical aspects (lighting, no risers, orchestra in front, etc.), but the music was very good even if it didn't seem optimized for the live stream.

None of our choristers had solos (as far as I could see), but it doesn't appear that we've lost any trebles from that group since FM and LD (knock on wood).

Former member TF was quite busy in non-singing roles and very visible throughout.
