Libera is an all-boys English vocal group organized as a charity in London, known for their celestial and ethereal choral sound. The group is made up of boys from the age of seven to teenage years from various backgrounds and schools in London. Directed by composer and conductor Robert Prizeman, Libera boys blend both classical and contemporary elements in their performances, which often take place in churches, echoing the traditional choir heritage. Though Libera may be rooted in the English choral tradition, they are distinguished by their unique synthesis of classical, alternative, and pop influences in their music, creating a sound that is at once both ancient and modern.

The name "Libera" comes from their signature song, which, in turn, is derived from the Latin word for free. True to their name, their music freely explores various melodies and harmonies, transcending the constraints of conventional choral music. The ensemble performs concerts around the world, and their music reaches an international audience through tours, television appearances, and original albums. With their contemporary approach to liturgical repertoire, adaptations of classical pieces, and original works, Libera has gained a widespread and dedicated fanbase, enchanting listeners with their otherworldly harmonies and the pure, clear voices of their young soloists. Their recent releases, including "Forever" and "Ave Verum (Albinoni's Adagio in G minor)," showcase their ability to reimagine classical pieces as well as venture into new, emotive compositions that continue to captivate and elevate the spirits of their diverse audience.
