OUTDOOR CONCERT

Presented by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in collaboration with Villa Charities
Singer/pianist/composer Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti have been featured in each other’s projects for almost a decade, with Elizabeth being the vocalist and pianist for Michael Occhipinti’s The Universe of John Lennon, and Michael touring as a member of Elizabeth’s group promoting her albums MONtreal and The Signal.
Although Covid-19 canceled a lot of their touring plans in 2020, last year saw Michael and Elizabeth tour across Canada and in Spain, Germany, France, and they have appeared at Casa del Jazz and at Auditorio Parco della Musica in Roma, Italia. Later this year they will be releasing their first duo recording featuring the songbook they’ve built up over years of touring.
Michael Occhipinti’s guitar work has been called “miraculous” and paired with Elizabeth’s unique cool and soulful delivery, the two have received a dozen nominations for Canada’s Juno Award.
