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.

New partnership with Zurich (ZHdK)
We are delighted to announce that we have signed a new partnership with Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). This partnership will enable us to strengthen our ties with the Swiss art world and offer new opportunities to their young musicians. With around 2,800 students and 650 teaching staff, Zurich University of the Arts is one of Europe's leading arts universities. Its academic reputation and top-notch teaching staff are recognized the world over. Professor Cobus Swanepoel, Head of Interpretation and Performance at the ZHdK, says he appreciates this new type of program, which enables him to collaborate in a different way with leading music academies. "It provides an extraordinary opportunity for young talents from different backgrounds to work together in a unique environment. We thank you for your support and commitment to classical music." As part of this partnership, we look forward to welcoming the first winner of our piano master classes in the 2025 season. This program will offer this young pianist the opportunity to benefit from high-quality training and to perform on stage with other young artists representing the new generation.

General Assembly Ad Manaurem 1762: Trust and New Energy
Yesterday’s general assembly of Ad Manaurem 1762, held at the multipurpose hall of St. Martin de Fressengeas, was marked by commitment and a positive spirit of renewal. The re-election of the president and vice president demonstrated renewed trust in their ability to drive future projects forward. The presence of many local officials highlighted the momentum and goals of our association. Building on a solid foundation and with collective determination, dynamic new perspectives for the future were developed. This positive energy forms an excellent basis for continuing the story of our association.

Welcome Johannes Meissl
For our first string quartet masterclass, we are very honoured to announce the arrival of Johannes Meissl as artistic director. Johannes speaks French very well and was attracted by our unique programme and the idea of coming to Périgord. He already knows and works with our two other partners, with whom meetings are planned to prepare this master class. Without wishing to use superlatives, it's a great opportunity for us to organise such an event: for classical music specialists, the quartet is considered to be one of the finest demonstrations of the art, and the concert at the end of August promises to be the grand finale of the season.

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!
