Yevgeny's new album

The Ferris Burtis Music Foundation has helped set in motion the recording process for Yevgeny Kutik's major new album. The recording was done in the studios of WGBH, Public Radio, in Boston with pianist Tim Bozarth.

To help Yevgeny in this project, go to http://www.kickstarter.com/ and choose 'Yevgeny Kutik's First Major Album'. You can pledge any amount from $1.00 to infinity.

In addition to the amount given by my Foundation I have also pledged an amount from my private funds. This brilliant young violinist is worthy of your support.

Please make a pledge today. He must have over $7000.00 by July 9th to complete the project.

Thank you, Herb
