Nemanja Radulović

Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulović champions the power of music to bring people together with his unique energy and candour, thrilling virtuosity, depth of expression, and adventurous programming.  

He began his year as the Philharmonia’s Featured Artist with a performance of Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto, conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali. Bachtrack’s reviewer wrote ‘He plays like an absolute angel… virtuosity in spades,’ and noted the tangible rapport between Nemanja, Santtu and the Philharmonia players.  

He returns in February to play-direct an ensemble of Philharmonia string players in Bach concertos, interspersed with pieces from Serbia, North Macedonia, France and Spain, from his acclaimed album Roots. Then in April he is reunited with Santtu to perform Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, in the first of three programmes marking the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s death.  

Signed exclusively to Warner Classics in 2021, Nemanja Radulović’s debut album on the label – Roots – represents a beguiling sonic journey evoked by his many influences and inspirations to date. This was followed by the release of his critically acclaimed all-Beethoven recording, featuring the beloved Violin Concerto as well as Radulović’s own arrangement of the Kreutzer Sonata for violin and string orchestra, which won the 2024 Opus Klassik Award for Concerto Recording of the Year. In autumn 2024 he released an album of JS Bach with his ensemble Double Sens, acclaimed by Gramophone for his ‘exquisite technique and tone… readings that yank the great JS down from the heavens back to visceral humanity.’  

Nemanja Radulović collaborates with many of the world’s great orchestras as a soloist, and also performs around the world as a chamber musician with Double Sens and other collaborators. With Double Sens he made the musical film Unique – an artist, a place, a concert, which featured selections by Bach and from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, as well as a new arrangement by frequent collaborator Aleksandar Sedlar of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, all shot and recorded live at the famed Neolithic site in Carnac, France.  

Mr Radulović’s recognition for his work in classical music includes an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Arts in Niš, Serbia, and an ELLE Style Award for Musician of the Year in 2015. Born in Serbia in 1985, Nemanja Radulović studied at the Faculty of Arts and Music in Belgrade, the Saarlandes Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Saarbrücken, the Stauffer Academy in Cremona with Salvatore Accardo, and the Conservatoire de Paris with Patrice Fontanarosa.
