West Stockbridge, MA –  Russian-American violinist Yevgeny Kutik and collaborative pianist Max Levinson will play a recital of music at The Foundry Sunday, March 6th at 3:00pm.

With a “dark-hued tone and razor-sharp technique” (The New York Times), Yevgeny Kutik has captivated audiences worldwide with an old-world sound that communicates a modern intellect.

An advocate for the Jewish Federations of North America, the organization that assisted his family in coming to the US, he regularly speaks and performs across the country to promote the assistance of refugees from around the world. Kutik’s discography, all on Marquis Classics includes The Death of Juliet and Other Tales (2021), Meditations on Family (Marquis Classics 2019), Words Fail (2016), Music from the Suitcase (2014), and Sounds of Defiance (2012).
