On the occasion of his debut at the BBC Proms in 2019, ›The Times‹ praised the »super-virtuosity« of violinist Nemanja Radulović’s playing. With his unique energy, openness and depth of expression, this musician harnesses the power of music and captivates audiences while simultaneously widening the boundaries of classical music. Born in Serbia in 1985 and currentlz living in France, he was awarded the Echo Klassik in 2015 and has won prizes at many other international competitions including the Joseph Joachim Violin Competition in Hanover and the renowned George Enescu International Competition in Bucharest. In recent seasons, Nemanja Radulović has appeared in a number of international concert venues with world-renowned orchestras, including the Münchner Philharmoniker, the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, to name but a few.

Recent highlights include performances with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Nemanja Radulović gives acclaimed concerts as a passionate chamber musician from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In 2021, he became an exclusive recording artist for Warner Classics. After his passionate debut with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen in 2022, their reunion at the 2023 ›Summer in Lesmona‹ festival has been eagerly awaited.

The Italian-Turkish conductor Nil Venditti has, in recent years, established a close relationship with many international orchestras. She has given debuts in previous seasons with RTE National Symphony in Dublin, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, the Orchestra dell’ Arena di Verona, the Irish National Opera and the Orchestra della Toscana – of which she was Principal Guest Conductor until May 2022.

Among the most recent highlights are her return to the Stuttgart Kammerorchester and debuts with the Paris and the Stuttgart Opera Orchestras, the Tonhalle Orchester Zurich, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Dresdner Philharmonie as well as the Helsingborg Symphony. A special highlight at the end of 2023 will be the forthcoming collaboration with the Royal Swedish Opera in a new production of ›Don Giovanni‹. In addition to her preference for the core Classical repertoire of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and her dedication to her work in opera, this conductor also committed to attracting new audiences to classical music with unusual formats. Last year she conducted the Irish National Opera’s first virtual reality community opera whose creative process involved people from all over Ireland. In Bremen, Venditti gave her debut with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen to great acclaim at the 2022 Musikfest Bremen and is now returning to the orchestra.
