Lipinski first visited the United States in 2004 at the invitation of Dr. Kazimierz Braun, Professor of Theatre at the University at Buffalo, where he played a featured role of a young pianist in a world premiere of “Paderewski’s Children”, a theatre play based on the life of the piano virtuoso and the prime minister of Poland Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
Lipinski maintains an active concert career in United States including recitals in New York City, Chicago and Las Vegas. He recently appeared with recitals at Steinway Concert Series at University of South Florida and St. Petersburg College Concert Series in Florida, Paso Robles Paderewski Festival in California, Polish Hall in Portland, Oregon, Lutkin Hall at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, Summer Concert Hall at the Paderewski’s Manor House in Poland, Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago and Northeastern Illinois University as a recipient of the prestigious Kosciuszko Foundation Scholarship. In 2012, he made his Chicago theatrical debut as a featured pianist in TimeLine Theatre Company’s “33 Variations” – a theatre play based on Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations.
Inspired by 1839 Monologues Pianistiques, Franz Liszt’s first piano recitals, Lipinski announces his repertoire from the stage, actively involves the audience in the discussion about his musical selections and often features a surprising element of innovative & interactive illusions. Teller calls him an original: “He thrills you on the piano. He mystifies you with magical illusions. And he keeps you laughing with his impudent, charismatic charm.” The reviewer from Buffalo News highlights Lipinski’s unique approach to the concert stage: “As a pianist on the cusp of his career, Lipinski holds a special card in his hand. His performances are magical. Literally.”
