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.
