He premiered his concerto “Mallet Fantasia” with the Nat’l Symphony of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro. About 100 Lipner compositions have been released on albums. His music has been licensed for tv shows and films around the world.

Lipner has constructed and played an ice xylophone in the mountains of Norway, performed in Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival, on a stone marimba in rural Iceland, at Marimba Park in Chiapas, Mexico, and much more. These and many other inspirational scenes are featured in the documentary “Talking Sticks.” Released in 2016, this highly acclaimed film discusses the history of vibes and marimba, exploring the roles they and creativity play in various cultures. Talking Sticks was filmed on location in Ghana, Mexico, Iceland, Brazil, Norway, and USA. Interviews include Gary Burton, Mike Mainieri, and Ney Rosauro.

Other notable Lipner appearances have included adjudicating in St. Petersburg, Russia (2019), CBS/ABC/NBC tv, a concert for the King of Morocco (at The Royal Palace in Marrakech), and tv/radio throughout Latin America and Europe.

Open-minded and humble, Arthur gives thanks to the many opportunities he has been presented within his efforts to help music bring joy and togetherness to the world.
