Yevgeny Kutik, violin

Rossini Semiramide Overture

Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor

Brahms Symphony No.2 in D major

Praised for exceptional technical skill as well as his poetic and imaginative interpretations, Yevgeny Kutik returns to perform the Sibelius Violin Concerto, featuring a virtuosic solo against a dark and melodic symphonic backdrop. Brahms’ 2nd Symphony, with its distinctive richness of harmony and rhythm, combines the light and dark, the lyrical and forceful, the extroverted and introspective in this audience favorite.
