Nemanja Radulović & Double SensOnstage Classical

BEETHOVEN Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47, Kreutzer Sonata, Arranged for Violin and String Orchestra by Nemanja Radulović BACH Chaconne, Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004 BACH Concerto for Violin, Strings, and Basso continuo in D minor, BWV 1052R Double Sens was born from violinist Nemanja Radulović’s questions of identity about his music and his life between France and Serbia. Bringing together Serbian and French musicians in 2008, Radulović’s artistic vision was realized when the ensemble’s music would break down boundaries among genres, styles, and traditions. After recording eight albums and touring throughout Europe and Asia, the chamber orchestra makes its Soraya debut as part of the ensemble’s first major coast-to-coast U.S. tour. Founded by violinist Nemanja Radulović in 2008, Double Sens is an ensemble that embodies musical dialogue, freedom, and cross-cultural exchange. Bringing together musicians from France and Serbia, the group reflects Radulović’s artistic vision of breaking down boundaries between genres, traditions, and styles. The ensemble’s sound moves fluidly between classical repertoire, Eastern European folk influences, and contemporary expression, marked by rhythmic vitality, emotional intensity, and a strong sense of collective storytelling. Through its innovative programming and passionate performances, Double Sens redefines the classical concert experience, inviting listeners into a vibrant and shared musical journey. For Radulović, Double Sens was born from questions of identity—his music, his friendships, his life between France and Serbia. He brought together Serbian and French musicians he knew personally, confident that their distinct personalities would form a cohesive group united by the joy of sharing music and the stage. From the first performance, there was a shared desire to continue. Even after many years of playing together, that feeling remains, and the anticipation of reuniting is as strong as ever. Radulović and Double Sens have recorded eight albums together, including 5 Seasons (Decca, 2011); Journey East (Deutsche Grammophon, 2015); Bach (2016); Rococo Variations in an original arrangement for viola (Tchaikovsky, 2017); and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade (Baïka, 2018). Now exclusive artists with Warner Classics, they have released Roots (2022); Beethoven (2023), which earned Radulović an Opus Klassik Award; and Bach (2024). The ensemble performs internationally at leading venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Konzerthaus, Munich’s Prinzregententheater, and Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie. In 2026, Double Sens will make its U.S. debut with a coast-to-coast tour spanning ten states, including performances at Cleveland’s Severance Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, Baltimore’s Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and Boston’s Jordan Hall. 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, a recital tour across Japan, and a return to the New York Philharmonic at Bravo! Vail. 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,
