About
Founded in 2018, Zero to Sixty is a seasonally re-auditioned summer a cappella group in Northeast Ohio.
HISTORY
In March of 2018, five friends in the Akron/Kent area came together to compete in the Varsity Vocals Open. The following spring they held auditions to find some of the most outstanding, versatile, and dedicated vocalists in Northeast Ohio. In October 2019, Zero to Sixty became recognized by the state of Ohio as a non-profit organization.

Directed and founded by award-winning arranger and Tiffin University professor Brandy Kay Riha, Zero to Sixty's mission is to provide an educational & professional performing opportunity for qualified vocalists in Northeast Ohio during the summer season. Zero to Sixty seeks to promote musicianship and professionalism in its members through structured and purposeful rehearsals in conjunction with performances and recording projects. ZTS also provides opportunities for growth and leadership through optional roles in related fields, including sound engineering, photography, social media, booking, marketing, and musical leadership.
Past members have included students & alumni of Kent State University, The University of Akron, Cleveland State University, and The College of Wooster. Rehearsals take place mid-May through August. Location for 2020 rehearsals is still to be determined, but will be somewhere near Akron or Cleveland or between the two.
