This project is very interesting for me and it was created during the lockdown period. I listened to a lot of music, mostly Mozart and world music, and it brought me back to life. During the period of the pandemic, I had time to think deeply about the music of today, but also about the music of the past and the future. I enjoyed listening to music of different styles. Little by little, the idea of this project began to take shape. Everything was new to me, because it is not classical music – it is maybe only five percent of it. This is a step forward that I have made as an artist – said Nemanja Radulović on the occasion of the new Roots album.

The program of the concert, which is a kind of step forward from the classical to the field of world music, will feature stylizations of traditional songs of different peoples – from compositions well known in our area, through melodies from different European countries, to those more distant, such as China, India and Japan.

We are extremely pleased to offer the Kotor audience such a start of the Festival. Violinist Nemanja Radulović is known for the unique energy and sincere emotions he brings to every concert. With his Double Sens Ensemble, he has already performed in Kotor, and this time we expect them to take us through many countries of the world with their magical sounds and introduce us to their melodies, as well as tunes from our region – the PR department of the Festival pointed out.
