Matthew Lipman,
viola
 American
violist Matthew Lipman has been praised by the New York
Times for his “rich tone and elegant phrasing,” and
by the Chicago Tribune for a “splendid technique and
musical sensitivity.” Lipman has come to be relied on
as one of the leading players of his generation, frequently
appearing as both a soloist and chamber music performer.
Lipman will debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
at the Ravinia Festival and with the Chamber Orchestra
of Europe at the Rheingau Music Festival in the summer
of 2021. Highlights of recent seasons include appearances
with the Minnesota Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Academy
of St Martin in the Fields, and the Juilliard Orchestra.
Lipman has worked with conductors including Edward Gardner,

in Miami. His recent debuts include at the Aspen Music
Festival, Seoul’s Kumho Art Hall, Wigmore Hall, Chicago’s
Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center, the Walt Disney Concert
Hall and in recital at Carnegie Hall.
Ascent, his 2019 release by Cedille Records, was celebrated
by The Strad as a “most impressive” debut album while
Lipman is praised for his “authoritative phrasing and
attractive sound.” The album marks the first ever recording
of the recently discovered work by Shostakovich, Impromptu
for viola and piano and of Clarice Assad’s Metamorfose
for viola and piano, which Lipman commissioned for the
recording. He has also been featured on the recording
of Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante with violinist Rachel
Barton Pine and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields
conducted by the late Sir Neville Marriner. The album
topped Billboard’s Classical Chart and has received
praise by both the press and public.
Named the 2019 Artist-in-Residence for the American
Viola Society, Lipman has additionally been featured
on WFMT Chicago’s list “30 Under 30” of the world’s
top classical musicians, and is a published contributor
to The Strad, Strings and BBC Music magazines. He was
featured on the second season of PBS’s ‘Now Hear This’
performing Schubert’s ‘Arpeggione’ Sonata with pianist
Mishka Rushdie Momen. He performs regularly on tour
and at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall with the Chamber
Music Society of Lincoln Center and at music festivals
including the Morizburg Festival, St. Petersburg’s White
Nights, Music@Menlo, Marlboro, Ravinia, Bridgehampton,
Seattle, Saratoga, and Kissinger Sommer festivals. His
regular chamber music partners include Tabea Zimmermann,
Mitsuko Uchida, Itzhak Perlman, Sir András Schiff, Jeremy
Denk, Stella Chen, and Pinchas Zukerman. Dedicated to
expanding the repertoire for the viola, Lipman has also
performed the premieres of works for viola by composers
Helen Grime, Clarice Assad, David Ludwig and the American
premiere of Monochromer GartenVI by Malika Kishino.
Lipman is the recipient of a 2015 Avery Fisher Career
Grant, a Kovner Fellowship, and the Jack Kent Cooke
Award, and is also a major prize winner in the Primrose,
Tertis, Washington, Johansen, and Stulberg International
Viola Competitions. He studied at The Juilliard School
with Heidi Castleman, and was further mentored by Tabea
Zimmermann at the Kronberg Academy. As an alum of the
