I’m rehearsing for an upcoming recital that will take place on December 10, 2011 in the Studio at the Segal Centre in Montreal. The pianist/actor Chris Barillaro that appeared with me at the Centaur production of “Schwartz’s: the Musical” has agreed to accompany me. We decided to work on a program of early 20th Century parlour songs, with a segue into more modern musical theatre. Should be an interesting mix and I can’t wait.
Check here for details and tickets. Vito DeFilippo and Chris Barillaro

Got some head shots done recently by a great photographer named Andrew Moniatowicz (see http://www.ipi-events.com).

Help me choose which one!

This past January I did a recital in Georgeville, Quebec in conjunction with the screening of a documentary by Louise Abbott of Rural Route Communications. The ever-kind Sarah Hoblyn at the piano! Here are a few selections:

This spring I spent 6 weeks onstage at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal in the hit show “Schwartz’s: the Musical.” For the first time in the theatre’s history, they are remounting a show for a summer run. So we’re back until August 7. Check it out:

I’ve been working on a few demos that might be of interest. In addition to my editing and camera work, I am an actor. Here is my acting demo in Quicktime format:

As well, I ran across a 30 sec golf ad I did in school as an editing assignment. Amazingly, I still find it good. Animations done with Boris, graphics work in Photoshop:
