Starting October 15, cellist Tommy Mesa will launch a new tour and recording with the great pianist Olga Kern.

On September 19, Kutik gives the world premiere of Eric Nathan's new Violin Concerto, The Mountains We Climb, with the Rhode Island Philharmonic — a co-commission by eight orchestras and a consortium of violinists, of which Kutik is honored to be the one to introduce the work to the world. Led by Music Director Ruth Reinhardt, the performance opens the RI Phil's 2026–27 season and marks the launch of Nathan's three-year appointment as the orchestra's first-ever Composer in Residence. Inspired by the act of mountain climbing as a metaphor for perseverance, the concerto shares the program with Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony.
