Polish Music at Polish Hall - Igor Lipinski - piano recital

Igor Lipinski made his American orchestra debut with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra playing Paderewski Piano Concerto under the baton of JoAnn Falletta. The performance was broadcast on National Public Radio's Performance Today. As a soloist, he recently performed with Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra under Michael Butterman, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Matthew Kraemer and he made a special New Year's Day appearance with the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra in Hyannis, Massachusetts under the baton of Jung-Ho Pak.

As a guest artist, Lipinski has made numerous appearances in Poland, Czech Republic, France, United Arab Emirates and United States including recitals in New York City, Chicago and Las Vegas. His recent appearances include sold-out recitals at Steinway Concert Series at University of South Florida, St. Petersburg College Concert Series, Paso Robles Paderewski Festival in California, Lutkin Hall at Northwestern University, Summer Concert Hall at the Paderewski's Manor House in Poland, Paderewski Symphony Orchestra at Copernicus Theatre, Chicago Chopin Society Series, Consulate General of the Republic of Poland and Kosciuszko Foundation Series as a recipient of the prestigious KF Scholarship. Lipinski was a featured pianist in a Chicago premiere of "33 Variations" a theatre play based on Beethoven's Diabelli Variations produced by the TimeLine Theatre Company. In 2012, Lipinski introduced a salon concert series in Winnetka, Illinois that features classical music concerts, inspired by the 19th century salons of Paris, in the most elite houses of Chicago's North Shore.

Known for his creative programming, Lipinski incorporates surprising elements of magic in his classical concerts.
