The all-female Virginia Sil'hooettes is the most award-winning a cappella group at the University of VirginiaEstablished in the spring of 1989, the Sils have enriched the University of Virginia with stellar and nationally recognized a cappella music for over twenty-five years. While music is the commonality, the Sils hail from unique and diverse backgrounds, creating an eclectic group of young women who sing but also pursue different academic interests. The Sil'hooettes have accomplished quite a bit since the group was established in 1989. They have sang at the White House in the winters of 2012 and 2015, entertaining guests as they viewed holiday decorations. They have opened for the recording artist B.o.B. and for musician Ben Folds and performed on national television, when MTV's "The Seven" aired a clip of an impromptu performance in New York City. They even were honored to sing at the University of Virginia's reception honoring Edward R. Stettinius Jr. Prize for Global Leadership recipient former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and Presidential Precinct Young Leader Award recipient Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye. *To book the Sil'hooettes for your next event, email sils@virginia.edu*
