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. His hotly anticipated BBC Proms debut in 2019 with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Kirill Karabits featured a Barber Violin Concerto played with ‘lyric delicacy and last-movement super-virtuosity’ (The Times).

Mr Radulović opens his 2024/2025 season back at the BBC Proms with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Jaime Martin. In October 2024, he also commences his season residency with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, whilst concluding his year-long 2024 residency with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg. Mr Radulović also looks forward to his second Bach album, recorded with his ensemble Double Sens and releasing in autumn 2024.Other recent and forthcoming highlights include debut engagements with the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Hallé Orchestra, Gothenburg Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and Sydney Symphony; an extensive UK tour with the Gävle Symphony Orchestra; and sold-out performances with his ensemble Double Sens at such celebrated festivals as the Folle Journée de Nantes and the Chorégies d’Orange and in venues such as Paris’s Philharmonie and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Berlin Philharmonie.

Signed exclusively to Warner Classics in 2021, Mr 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. His previous album, Baïka, one of a long line of nine successful recordings made with Deutsche Grammophon and the Universal Music Group labels, was declared ‘a fiery whirlwind of an album…’ by BBC Music Magazine, which awarded it 5 stars and the coveted Critics’ Choice Award. Gramophone Magazine praised Baïka’s ‘imaginative pairings’, saying 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.’Winner of the 2015 Echo Klassik Award for Newcomer of the Year, Mr Radulović is an artist who seeks to broaden the boundaries of classical music. He has amassed a legion of loyal fans around the world who have enjoyed his performances with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Philharmonia, Munich Philharmonic, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Staatskapelle Dresden, Dusseldorf Symphony, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Tokyo Symphony, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony in Tokyo, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Orquesta Nacional de España, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, NDR Radiophilharmonie in Hanover, WDR Sinfonieorchester in Cologne, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Belgian National Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lille, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in Turin, Orchestra della Toscana, Tampere Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Copenhagen Phil, Geneva Camerata, Queensland Symphony, Macao Orchestra, and the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa.
