A native of Indianola, Bellipanni began his journey by studying piano at Mississippi Delta Community College (MDCC). After earning his Associate of Arts degree from MDCC, he transferred to DSU in Spring 2023, where his musical career has flourished.
At DSU, Bellipanni has actively participated in various programs and performances. He has played the piano and performed as a vocalist in the DSU Opera Scenes program, collaborated in a piano duo and a flute trio with fellow instrumentalists, and was selected to perform in the prestigious DSU Honors Recital in 2024. Bellipanni also showcased his talents at the Mississippi Music Teachers Association State Conference in 2023. His dedication and achievements were recognized with the 2024 Melissa Gordin Alexander Annual Scholarship.
Dr. Jung-Won Shin, Professor of Music at DSU and Bellipanni’s piano instructor, expressed her pride in his progress, saying, “Dominick has diligently prepared for his junior recital throughout the semester. He started piano only a few years ago, and his musical growth since he transferred to DSU has been marvelous. I have enjoyed working with him so much. I am very proud of him.”
This recital represents a significant milestone in Bellipanni’s academic and musical journey. The public is invited to attend and celebrate his accomplishments.
