Also in the release:
"The Russian-American artist
Yevgeny Kutik is hailed for his dazzling command of the violin
and its repertoire, as well as a communicative immediacy that harkens
back to the legendary Romantic masters. Yevgeny Kutik’s current season
is highlighted by engagements as guest soloist
with New York City’s Park Avenue Chamber Symphony and the Pro Arte
Chamber Orchestra of Boston. Kutik made his debut with Keith Lockhart
and The Boston Pops in 2003 as the 1st Prize recipient of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra Young Artists Competition and was
awarded a 2006 Salon de Virtuosi Grant as well as the 2006 Tanglewood
Music Center Jules Reiner Violin Prize. Of special note, Yevgeny Kutik
continues his close association with the United Jewish Federations of
North America Speakers Bureau, annually performing
throughout the United States to raise awareness and promote the
assistance of refugees from around the world."
