Reviews

“A splendid concert of considerable range, conducted by Peter Lipari...a commanding technique in a highly artistic performance...Lipari’s driving Beethoven’s Third Symphony was gripping and pretty beefy...the players put on a show of fiery precision...The finale’s strong accents were molded to Lipari’s design...”

Bournemouth

Evening Echo

“Lipari was an eager, animated conductor who appears to have thoroughly absorbed the milieu as well as to have developed exceptionally secure podium leadership skills.”

St Louis Post

“Conductor Peter Lipari was utterly at ease in an elusive musical idiom that hovers right on the border between legitimate opera and popular musical...It’s rare to find an opera conductor with equal fluency in classical and pop forms.”

Chicago Tribune

“The musical direction is by Peter Lipari, a LOW discovery and one of the more astute young opera maestros I’ve heard in recent years.”

Chicago Sun Times


“Guided by Peter Lipari, the orchestra made velvety, graceful, lilting sounds....Unlike many conductors, Lipari was not afraid to let the rubato linger: his rhythm was spontaneous yet sharp and precise....”

Chicago Reader

“...Peter Lipari conducts with a sweeping sense of line and abundant energy. He handles the operetta’s diverse materials in crisp, affectionate terms...”

Cleveland

Plain Dealer

“He is something of a podium athlete, with an exceedingly dramatic conducting style. His excitement seemed to carry over to the orchestra...”

Wooster Daily Record

“The joint stars of the occasion were conductor Peter Lipari, who ran a very tight musical ship and permitted no dull musical moments...”

Eugene

Register-Guard


“Lipari confidently led the Grant Park Symphony through the program...Lipari captured the ears, eyes and hearts of all 20,000 people attending the concert. The audience was enthralled by the movements of Lipari and the beautiful sound he was able to draw from the orchestra. Peter Lipari received a standing ovation, and was called back for several additional bows....”

Fra Noi

“The Orchestra, with their new and dynamic conductor, Peter Lipari, responded to the music with a performance full of life and zest...An outstanding combination of pace and precision...”

Gian Carlo Menotti

Multi-Pulitzer-Prize-Winning composer, librettist, director, and playwright 

It has been my pleasure and my good fortune to have worked with Peter during the 1984, 1985, 1987 & 1988 Spoleto Festivals, in Italy, Charleston, and Melbourne at the beginning of his career.
He quickly proved himself not only a remarkable gifted conductor but also an indefatigable organizer and a sensitive and often original interpreter. He is also blessed with a very dynamic and engaging personality, which he knows how to project on orchestras and audiences.
I deem fortunate any institution that will entrust him its musical projects, be they operas, concerts, or any other kind of musical endeavour.
