Joe LoPiccolo ’00 says, “I was honored to be invited to perform and be one of five international judges at the Euro Strings Mottola Guitar Festival in Italy this past July. I continue to teach guitar at both Mt. San Antonio College and College of the Canyons, where I helped organize the first International Guitar Festival held at the COC PAC. I perform throughout LA and abroad, and on Oct. 12 I performed a set of my Italian arrangements with fellow CalArts music alumni, bassist Larry Steen ’95 and drummer Aaron Serfaty ’95, for The Taste of Italy at the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles.”
