Yevgeny Kutik & Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner perform Debussy and Grieg

Praised for his “dark-hued and razor-sharp technique” (The New York Times), violinist Yevgeny Kutik makes a highly anticipated Newport Classical debut. A recipient of the Salon de Virtuosi Grant and the Tanglewood Music Center’s Jules Reiner Violin Prize, Kutik has moved audiences with performances that marry emotional depth and technical brilliance. For this recital, Kutik collaborates with Newport Classical favorite, pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner, returning after a sold-out recital in 2024. Celebrated as “a gifted virtuoso” (San Francisco Chronicle) with “mesmerizing artistry and extraordinary ability to communicate” (The Post-Standard), Sanchez-Werner partners with Kutik in a musical dialogue featuring works by Debussy, Prokofiev, Grieg, and Achron.
