Rocco Di Pietro is an active composer and writer. Originally from Buffalo, NY. His mentors included Lukas Foss and Bruno Maderna. For ten years, he worked in various prisons, from Attica to San Quentin, gathering life stories that inspired his book, "The Normal Exception: Life Stories from Prison." His most recent book is titled “Yours in Beethoven: A Memoir in Music with Julius Eastman.”

In the preface to his work, Di Pietro mentions that each of the eight movements of his piece, Pierrot Serrata, represents different imaginary clown friends who join him for an imaginary evening of joyful music-making. The clowns include: Pierrot, Columbina, Ronald, Ubu Roi, Doink Pulcinella, Joker Arlecchino, Krusty Scaramouche, and Saltembanque.
