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, Russian-American violinist Yevgeny Kutik has become a highly sought-after artist on the concert stage worldwide.

In his German debut with the WDR Rundfunk Orchestra, Yevgeny “enraptured the crowd” (DerWesten) with his performance.  Of his New York City orchestral debut with the Riverside Symphony, The New York Times said his violin projected “an old-fashioned rhapsodic style, which was magnified by (his) rich, sweet tone.”  Yevgeny’s other recent performances have included highly successful appearances with the Tokyo Vivaldi Ensemble in Japan, the world-premiere performance of the concerto Versus by Ron Ford with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, which received praise from both The New York Times and The Boston Globe, and a return appearance with the Boston Pops and Keith Lockhart.  As a recitalist, he has been presented by the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C., National Arts Club in New York City, Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago and in Europe at the esteemed Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele (Germany) and Verbier (Switzerland) festivals.  

In his 2011-2012 season, Yevgeny Kutik is featured in debuts with The Riverside Symphony at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Washington DC’s Embassy Series, Germany’s Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock, The East Texas Symphony Orchestra, and a residency at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, performing recital and orchestra programs, as well as conducting a masterclass. The season will also feature his Prague debut at the Lobkowicz castle by invitation of Prince William Lobkowicz.

Yevgeny continues his close association with the Jewish Federations of North America Speaker’s Bureau, annually performing throughout the United States to raise awareness and promote the assistance of refugees from around the world, a cause to which he is particularly dedicated.
