ARTS&LIFE
MUSIC

is a musician. While his wife,
Rachel, has a yoga studio, his
father-in-law, Edwin Barker,
plays double bass with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra.
A recent Kutik recording
project has focused his atten-
tion on appreciated cultural
aspects of his heritage. The
upcoming album, The Death
of Juliet and Other Tales, soon
will be released by Marquis
Classics, the label that regularly
represents his talents.
“It’s an album of all [Sergei]
Prokofiev music and traces
how he was inspired by Russian
folk tunes,” Kutik says. “The
very folk tunes I grew up lis-
tening to were probably the
ones that he grew up listening
to.

“I arranged a few of them
for violin and had two won-
derful composers do the other
arrangements. The album itself
is kind of a narrative intermix-
ing these Russian folk tunes
and Prokofiev’s music.”
In rare private moments
away from music, Kutik likes to
hike, read and experiment with
coffee, often searching for spe-
cialized gear that can process
creative brews to be savored.
“I’m reading The History of
the World in Six Glasses,
” Kutik
reveals. “It traces how the
origins of [beverages] shaped
history as we know it. I’m fasci-
nated by that, but I just drink a
cup or two of coffee [at a time].
That’s good enough for me.”
