Nemanja Radulović & Double Sens

Serbian-born, Paris-based violinist Nemanja Radulović founded Double Sens as an artistic reflection of his dual identity—the creative dialogue between two cultures that shape his voice. He brought together a circle of trusted Serbian and French musicians, united by friendship and a shared desire to inspire one another toward their highest artistry. Making its U.S. debut in 2026 with a program including Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, the ensemble moves seamlessly between classical masterworks, folk traditions, and repertoire beyond, performing with striking charisma, agility, and emotional depth. Double Sens radiates warmth, authenticity, and a palpable sense of freedom that captivates audiences from the very first note.
