Voices of Liberty at EPCOT getting new costumes
The Voices of Liberty, the beloved a cappella group who performs at the American Adventure in EPCOT will be getting new costumes this week as part of the start of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.
“We wanted to create a cohesive look that celebrated the grandness of the rotunda in which they perform and the impact of their musical presentation through incorporating a visual aesthetic of music itself,” Josh, Costume Designer with Disney Live Entertainment explained to the Disney Parks Blog.
The color palette for the group came from a vintage American flag. This allowed him to create unique looks for each performer while still coordinating with the whole group.
The designs need to be more than beautiful, they need to be function. “When we fit our performers for costumes, we make sure they demonstrate movements they might need to make during the show, which can vary person to person,” Aubry explained. “For example, our vocal captains use a wide range of arm movement while conducting, so comfort and mobility in the back and shoulders is of extra importance.”
The group had previously worn traditional colonial costumes before going to an updated look below. During the holidays they will still wear traditional garb.
