Compared to a group like Vienna Boys Choir, how big are Libera?
Eternal and the Angel Voices concert DVD were released a few weeks before their concert and they did a lot of publicity for the concert. Both concerts were sold out and that's a very good start for someone who came here for the first time (not counting the mainstream artists whose songs are played over and over in radios and local music channels).
During the concert itself I overheard people asking each other how they learned of Libera and most people said they just saw the Manila advert. My parents heard of them from the adverts, too. They had print (and that's how I learned that they're coming here) and TV adverts.
I'm not sure but I think in general people who are interested in boy choirs have also heard of the Vienna Boys Choir. But I believe that people are more fascinated with Libera because they're not just some boys thrown together that formed an incredible choir, rather, the Libera management let the names and faces of their members to be known so it became more personal.
Also, I'm not sure but that thing Libera does, the meet and greet the day before the concert and after the concert itself, is brillant. I was doubtful that they'd do that in the Philippines because sometimes we become overexcited which causes disorder but there's no inappropriate behavior during those times, especially the meet and greet the day before. There was like, a hundred people only.
