EDITORIAL APRIL 2026
Welcoming the 2026 Season
Dear Members and Friends of Ad Manaurem 1762,
The Ad Manaurem meeting, held on Friday 10 April 2026 in Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas, took place in a very positive atmosphere.
The presence of numerous local elected representatives clearly demonstrated their support for our patronage initiative.
The results of the 2025 season were very positive, particularly thanks to the introduction of the string quartet masterclass, which proved a real success.
In total, 18 musicians benefited from our support and gave an enthusiastic performance at the two concerts, at the start and end of the summer.
The 2026 season has begun with the selection of the winners, and we are delighted to introduce them to you in the section dedicated to them.
It is already shaping up to be a unique season, rich in emotion.
You can already make a note of the dates for the upcoming concerts: the piano concert will take place on Friday 3 July, and the string quartet concert on Friday 28 August. Both events will be held at the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle.
The event continued at the Orangerie (our musicians’ residence) with a piano recital given by Huinji Kim. She delighted an audience who were already familiar with her, as she had taken part in our first piano masterclasses in 2024.
Amitiés,
Didier Sourisseau
President

A New Piano Enriches Our

We are delighted about the arrival of our new digital piano for the Ad Manaurem 1762 music residency. The acquisition was generously co-funded by the Fondation Crédit Agricole Charente-Périgord. We would like to thank the Foundation for its valuable and generous support of our patronage for talented young musicians. This new instrument will significantly enrich the work and creativity of the artists in our residency.

Welcome to the Orangerie: A New Residence for Young Talents in the Périgord Vert
Ad Manaurem 1762 has opened its doors for an exciting new project. We are delighted to announce the opening of our residence, specially designed for young musicians. Our first guests, the talented Idalia String Quartet, have already arrived and are filling the space in the heart of the Périgord Vert with music. This new step deepens our commitment to the talents of tomorrow, while staying true to our philosophy. The residence provides not only an inspiring setting for rehearsals but also moments for meeting and exchange. The peace and beauty of the Périgord Vert create an ideal environment for artistic growth. This project is fully aligned with our belief that musical excellence thrives best in a supportive, family-like environment. With the residence, we now offer an even more comprehensive platform to encourage and support the next generation of classical music.
