The Capital Hearings is a vocal ensemble based in Washington, D.C. The ensemble is known for performing a cappella music from a variety of styles, including classical choral works, vocal jazz, American folk songs, and contemporary pop.
The ensemble received early attention when it performed flashmobs at an event on Capitol Hill[1] and for a marriage proposal at Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatery.[4][5] Its debut album, Opening Statement, was nominated for several Contemporary A Cappella Recording (CARA) Awards[6] and was selected as an Album of the Year for 2013 by the Recorded A Cappella Review Board (RARB).[7] More recently, the ensemble participated in performances of a work honoring Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.[8]
