He owned theaters in Kharkov, Kaluga and other cities. In 1821 he settled down in Voronezh. He brought the theater in excellent condition. The troupe - up to 70 people. In addition to the drama, operas and ballets were performed. In Voronezh, they usually played in the winter. In the summer and fall they performed at the resort in Lipetsk and other nearby cities.
Favorable time for the Voronezh Theater ended in 1825. Nine-month mourning, declared on the occasion of the death of Alexander I, stopped performances in all cities of the country. All property and troupe went to a friend of Kalinowski - P.A. Sokolov. The story of V.A. Sologub "Dog", written according to the words of M.S. Shchepkina tells about the life of Kalinowski (Kalinowski is under the name of Pochenovsky).
