EDITORIAL NOVEMBER 2024
We are proud of the work accomplished...
Dear music enthusiasts, dear musicians,
What a journey it has been in just over a year, and already we’ve been recognized by the French administration as an association of public interest!
How can we not be proud of all the work accomplished, thanks to and with the support of over 60 members who share a passion for music and wish to help young musicians start their careers?
The 2024 season impressed all the music professionals who were involved, directly or indirectly.
Of course, as we had envisioned, the enchanting setting of the Périgord Vert was highly praised by all the artists, and the Château de La Marthonie was repeatedly described as a wonderful and inspiring place to rehearse.
The concert, a moment of sharing with the community, was also brilliant, with an attentive audience, captivated and amazed by the virtuosity of our young artists.
Our six young artists left full of hope and with the sense that time had stood still for them for a week. Isn’t that proof that our mission was accomplished? They are well, we keep in touch, and one day they will return to dazzle us again with their art.
In these challenging times, we managed to create something magical, under the direction of Mr. Denis Pascal, to whom we are immensely grateful.
The new 2025 season is being prepared, and you can already save the date of July 4th.
I assure you, it will be even more beautiful, with further surprises…
With musical greetings,
Didier Sourisseau

Concert salle Gaveau (Paris)
We reunited with Denis Pascal on Friday, November 15, at the salle Gaveau for a concert featuring his two sons, Alexandre (violinist) and Aurélien (cellist), along with countertenor Paul Figuier. The program for this magnificent evening at Gaveau was dedicated to contemporary works by Bruno Coulais, Arvo Pärt, and Jean Philippe Goude. We were particularly captivated by the world premiere of Miserere and Salve Regina for voice, violin, cello, and piano by Jean Philippe Goude. Exuding profound depth through the restrained interpretation of the Pascal trio, the voice of Paul Figuier elevated us into the spirituality of this magnificent prayer of Salve Regina. The second part was dedicated to Franz Schubert and his Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 100, a masterpiece whose mastery and romanticism were deeply appreciated by the audience. Discover the Pascal Trio and Paul Figuier on their latest album, Anima Mea.

Partnerships renewed for 2025
The new season began with intensive visits to Paris, London, and Vienna. Our meetings went very well, with positive results. The three partnerships have been renewed for 2025. Now we must rise to the challenge of our success, as some are asking us to do even more. We will have to take on this new challenge, but it seems that "impossible" is not in the Ad Manaurem spirit!
