PIOnissimo is an auditioned a Cappella group that strives for musical excellence through teamwork and leadership. PIOnissimo should work as a cohesive unit, with everyone doing their fair share of work to make the group the best that it can be. PIOnissimo consists of a Women's Group (the Pio Pitches) and an SATB group (PIOnissimo). We mainly perform contemporary music, and if you are interested we would love to have you audition!
Rehearsal times are Tuesday's and Thursday's from 9:00 to 10:00pm, and Sunday's late evening.
If you are interested in being a part of our group please send Lorne von Asten an email letting him know, and we will find a time to audition. The hard cutoff for auditions for fall semester is October 1st. The audition process is 30 seconds of your favorite song, scales to determine range, and a basic rhythm sight read. If you have any questions, reach out!
