Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  and  the  United  Nations  Assembly  Hall.    

A  Martha  Baird  Rockefeller  Fund  for  Music,  Inc.  grant  launched  his  first  European  tour,  which  was  followed  by  recitals  and  orchestral  appearances  across  Western  Europe,  Russia  and  Latin  America.  He  has  toured  with  the  Czech  Philharmonic  Janacek  and  the  English  Chamber  Orchestra.  Also  he  has  presented  masterclasses  at  the  Trinity  College  of  Music  in  London,  at  the  Juilliard  School,  and  in  Moscow,  Russia,  and  Mexico.    Mr.  Lipovetsky  studied  piano  with  Wilhelm  Kolischer  in  Montevideo  and  with  Rosina  Lhevinne  at  the  Juilliard  School,  where  he  earned  his  BM  and  MS  and  was  the  first  recipient  of  the  Van  Cliburn  Scholarship  and  the  Pan  American  Union  Scholarship.    Professor  Lipovetsky’s  career  spans  5  decades  as  a  performer-­‐pedagogue  as  Associate  Professor  of  Piano  at  Florida  State  University  and  master  teacher  around  the  world.      

His  performances  were  acclaimed  as  follows;  

"He  played  the  Prokofieff  Third  Piano  Concerto  in  the  modern,  streamlined  manner  in  which  

superbly  controlled  dash  takes  precedence  over  soulful  detail.  One  marvelled  at  his  mechanical  perfection  and  he  earned  bravos  from  the  

responsive  audience."  Theodore  Stongin,  The  New  York  Times,  New  York  City  

"He  is  full  of  the  excitement  that  any  such  gifted  young  man  always  finds  in  exploring  the  great  literature  of  his  instrument.  He  understands  

both  the  instrument  and  a  great  deal  about  the  literature.  He  makes  a  beautiful  sound  on  the  piano  and  his  fingers  know  few  problems."  Paul  

Hume,  The  Washington  Post  

"He  combines  in  his  playing  the  warmth  and  passionate  eloquence  of  a  latin  with  the  agile,  confident  and  brilliant  technique  which  is  the  hallmark  of  a  great  pianist.  Through  his  tense  

but  moving  style  he  showed  to  be  an  interpreter  of  more-­‐than-­‐usual  self-­‐control.  His  

interpretations  were  lively,  communicative  and  essentially  truthful.  His  recital  was  crowned  by  a  

great  ovation."  Xavier  Montsalvatge,  La  Vanguardia  Espanola,  Barcelona,  Spain  

"Magnificent  technique,  rich  aesthetic  conception,  truly  surprising  maturity.  Made  a  

distinct  statement  on  the  endowments  required  of  a  soloist,  lavishly  overflowing,  yet  held  at  bay  

by  the  symphonic  framework  ..."  Augusto  Valera,  Noticiero  Universal,  Barcelona,  Spain  

"Everything  about  his  performance  had  a  nice  balance.  He  has  grand  style  and  big-­‐league  

technique,  but  has  tempered  its  flashiness  and  exuberance  with  the  patience  and  control  he  

needs  to  see  him  through  slow  movements,  and  the  sense  of  rhythmic  timing  to  allow  the  music  

to  breath  and  move  with  inevitability.  His  program  balanced  virtuoso  extroversion  with  

contemplative  quietness,  utter  seriousness  with  light  humor,  and  throughout,  his  approach  was  musical."  Joan  Reinthaler,  The  Washington  Post
