Libera is the third “public” name for the boys' section of an Anglican parish church choir from South London.

The boys are between the ages of 7 and 16. Some boys stay longer to help coach the younger children. As the name has changed at various times during the public performance life of the choir, the name in use at the relevant time will be used in each section.

Their first appearance in the public eye came when, as the Saint Philip's Boys' Choir, they backed Sal Solo on his song San Damiano in 1984. This led in 1988 to the choir releasing their first album, Sing For Ever, as the Saint Philip's Boys' Choir.

In 1998, along with a departure from fairly traditional church choir music, came the latest change of name to Libera. Since then, five albums have been released: Libera in 1998, Luminosa in 2001, Free in September 2004, Visions in November 2005 and Angel Voices in November 2006.

Along with regular appearances on television, most often on Songs of Praise, they have released four videos that are often shown on Classic FM TV.
