Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulović champions the power of music to bring people together with his unique energy and candor, electrifying virtuosity, depth of expression, and adventurous programming. Winner of the 2024 OPUS KLASSIK Award for Concerto Recording of the Year (Beethoven: Violin Concerto & Kreutzer Sonata), Radulović describes the concert stage as a “second home.” His daring approach—marked by risk-taking and spontaneity—transforms each performance into a compelling blend of tradition and bold experimentation.
During the 2025/2026, season Radulović brings his “thrilling, magical interpretation” (Bachtrack) of Aram Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto to the Opening Concert of the Enescu Festival with Cristian Măcelaru, Baltimore Symphony with Marin Alsop and Melbourne Symphony with Jamie Martín. With the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto he reunites with Krzysztof Urbański for his return to Warsaw Philharmonic and debut with Bamberger Symphoniker, and begins new collaborations with Royal Scottish National Orchestra (Giedrė Šlekytė) and Belgian National Orchestra (Antony Hermus) at BOZAR Brussels as well as the Philharmonie de Paris. His season concludes with returns to Australia and Japan, collaborating with the Melbourne, Tasmania and Yomiuri Nippon symphony orchestras, and a recital tour across Japan.
Recent highlights include engagements with the New York Philharmonic, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Munich Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, Gothenburg Symphony, Vienna Radio Symphony and Sydney Symphony, along with sold-out performances with his ensemble Double Sens at La Folle Journée de Nantes and Chorégies d’Orange, and Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, and Berlin Philharmonie.
During the 2024/2025 season, Radulović was Featured Artist of Philharmonia Orchestra (U.K.), performing the Khachaturian and Shostakovich violin concerti with Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, as well as play/directing a chamber music program with Philharmonia musicians: “A born communicator, Radulović played with an enticing finesse and directed the players with charismatic energy” (The Strad). He made an acclaimed return to the BBC Proms (Martín, BBC National Orchestra of Wales), and in North America, Radulović debuted with Pittsburgh Symphony and Orchestre symphonique de Quebec, and continued his cherished relationship with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
Radulović’s recordings, including his critically acclaimed Beethoven album (2023) and second Bach album (2024) with Double Sens, reflect his restless curiosity and desire to explore. Signed exclusively to Warner Classics in 2021, Radulović’s debut album on the label, ROOTS, represents a beguiling sonic journey inspired by his many influences. His previous album, Baïka, one of nine successful recordings with Deutsche Grammophon and Universal Music Group, was declared “a fiery whirlwind of an album” by BBC Music Magazine, which awarded it five stars and the coveted Critics’ Choice Award. Gramophone Magazine praised Baïka’s “imaginative pairings,” noting that “Radulović dispatches [the Khachaturian Violin Concerto] with energy and firepower,” and that “with Radulović as narrator, this is an album with entrancing tales to tell.”
Radulović maintains an equal passion for the intimacy of chamber music and is an increasingly active recitalist on the international stage. He has performed at distinguished venues such as Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Berlin Philharmonie, Salle Pleyel, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Athens Megaron, Suntory Hall, Teatro Colón, and Melbourne Recital Centre.
Radulović regularly undertakes a play/direct role with Double Sens, which was recently celebrated for their unprecedented musical film Unique, featuring selections by Bach, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and a new arrangement by frequent collaborator Aleksandar Sedlar of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, filmed and recorded live at the famed Neolithic site in Carnac, France. Following European tours across France, Germany, Austria, and Estonia in December 2024 and return performances to Japan in early 2025,
Radulović and Double Sens will embark on tours across Switzerland and France in 2025/2026.
Born in Serbia in 1985, Nemanja Radulović studied at the Faculty of Arts and Music in Belgrade, Hochschule für Musik Saar, Stauffer Academy with Salvatore Accardo, and the Conservatoire de Paris with Patrice Fontanarosa. He has received Opus Klassik and Echo Klassik awards, was named International Revelation of the Year and Artist of the Year by Victoires de la Musique Classique, holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Arts in Niš, Serbia, and was honored with ELLE’s Style Award for Musician of the Year. A laureate of several prestigious international violin competitions, he has won prizes at the Joseph Joachim (Hanover), George Enescu (Bucharest), and Stradivarius (Cremona) competitions. In recognition of his contributions to the arts, he was appointed Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Republic.
