EMBASSY OF LUXEMBOURG (CHANGE OF VENUE)

WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE EMBASSY OF POLAND
2200 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, NW

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012 AT 7:30 PM

YEVGENY KUTIK, VIOLIN
TIMOTHY BOZARTH, PIANO

Possessing a "dark, brooding intensity", Russian-American violinist Yevgeny Kutik has, at age twenty-four, become a sought-after artist on the concert stage worldwide. In his recent German debut with the WDR Radio Symphony 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 Orchestra and Keith Lockhart. As a recitalist, he most recently appeared at the Verbier (Switzerland) and Oberstdorfer (Germany) festivals and made his debut on the prominent Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago. He has also appeared in recital in San Francisco, Washington D.C., Miami, Tokyo, Munich and Montreal. Program: Szymanowski, Penderecki, Chopin, Bloch. $100/ including buffet /dinner/wine
