He directs the composition program at the college as well as the early music activities, which include the Collegium Musicum, a Renaissance music ensemble; the Monteverdi Ensemble, a madrigal ensemble; WIRE (Wierd Instrument Renaissance Ensemble--featuring krummhorns and gemshorns), and the Baroque ensemble, an instrumental group that specializes in music of the 17th and 18th centuries. He teaches courses in music theory, orchestration, form, and contemporary music, and gives private lessons and practicum courses in composition.
In May of 2017 and 2019, Dr. Lipkis taught a course entitled “Music of Spain,” which culminated in a ten-day trip to Cordoba, Seville, and Granada to explore firsthand the rich musical culture of the Andalusian region of Spain. He is planning a similar course for May of 2023 .

He has delivered presentations on the topic of “Bach and Rhetoric” and “Bach and Baroque Dance” at two NEH Summer Scholar Institutes in Germany (and a third one in the summer of 2017 in Bethlehem). He is also a Music Director at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival in Center Valley, PA.
He is also the Composition Competition Coordinator for the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. He directed "The Enigma Variations" in 2017 and "Pictures at an Exhbiiton (2018) in 2018".
