This building here on the left? That's the Kennedy Center. And starting May 28th, it'll be all a cappella all the time in D.C. with the launch of the big institution's 10-day event, "A Cappella: Singing Solo." The line-up has been announced and the Virginia Sil'hooettes from UVA and James Madison University's Exit 245 will be representing the collegiate realm alongside big acts like Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Sweet Honey in the Rock.
Look for these two groups at the Millenium Stage on June 3rd at 6:00 PM. Click here for more info.
And here's Exit 245 singing Foreigner's "Cold as Ice."
Pitch Perfect, out now from Gotham Books, is a behind-the-scenes look at the bizarre, inspiring, and hilarious world of competitive collegiate a cappella.
