With his concert schedule cancelled indefinitely by the COVID pandemic, violinist Yevgeny Kutik was practicing alone in his home studio, when his eye fell upon a stack of old music scores on a shelf. The scores had been packed by his mother in one of only two pieces of luggage the family was allowed to bring out of Belarus in the former Soviet Union when they emigrated to the United States in 1990, a year before the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. Kutik’s mother devoted precious luggage space to the music because she believed that it represented a significant part of the family history.
