Tony DePiano

Following his graduation from Plymouth State College (Plymouth, NH) in 1998, DePiano was awarded with a scholarship to perform and study abroad with the SESSIONE SENESE PER LA MUSCIA (SSMA) touring group. Based in Siena, Italy, the SSMA toured through Italy and Switzerland performing in cities such as Siena, Andermatt, Lucerna, and Pienza. DePiano was routinely featured playing solos, duets and in small chamber ensembles.

After moving to Los Angeles in 1999, DePiano continued to perform throughout the United States as a soloist and with the rock band Mother Jones (www.motherjonesband.com).

In 2004 DePiano was a guest performer with the Danza Floricanto, during their 25th anniversary program at California State University in Los Angeles. During the event which was performed at the Harriet & Charles Luckman Fine Arts Complex, he played in the world premier piece Los Concheros, composed by Gerardo Tamez.

Since departing from Los Angeles in 2005 to complete a Masters Degree in Education, DePiano has relocated to Cleveland, Ohio. Today he continues to perform and teach throughout the Cleveland metro area.
