Ad Manaurem 1762 - Patronage for young musicians
Our mission is to support young musicians who have graduated from the world's top music universities.
We invite them to an exceptional week of masterclass in Périgord, France, under the artistic direction of renowned professors.
Our programme of excellence is based on a partnership with the best music academies. It includes daily, individual lessons enabling these young talents to perfect their own project of the classical repertoire.
An invitation to excellence
Our story begins here, between family and friends, all united by a deep passion for music and a sense of responsibility to support the musicians of tomorrow.
We invite them to join us in this place where, since the earliest traces of humanity, artists have expressed themselves in complete freedom.
Our name, Ad Manaurem 1762, was inspired by Mozart's first minuets written at the age of 6, in 1762. It tells us how important it is to support young people and their potential for virtuosity.
It expresses our reason for existing, a hymn to music and talent.
La semaine de Masterclass
La session 2025 est consacrée au piano.
Elle a lieu du 28 juin au 5 juillet 2024 sous la direction artistique de Monsieur Denis Pascal, professeur au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. Il est reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs pédagogues de sa génération.
Processus de sélection
Nous sélectionnons nos invités selon un double processus.
Nous avons pour 2025, des partenariats avec les meilleures universités musicales d'Europe : l' Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris et le Royal Academy of Music, London. Chacune de ces académies propose des candidats dont le profil exceptionnel correspond à notre approche d’excellence. Ceux-ci sont ensuite sélectionnés par notre comité. Nous garantissons deux places par université.
Château de la Marthonie - the place of study
Since the 11th century, La Marthonie has played an important role in protecting the property of the King of France. Ruined during the Hundred Years' War, the castle was rebuilt from the 15th century onwards and enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Since its construction, the château has been owned by the Beaumont-Beynac family, who continue to restore it to this day. The family has a long musical tradition, and has been organizing chamber music concerts for over 30 years.
Thierry de Beaumont-Beynac, co-founder of Ad Manaurem 1762, opens the recently restored salons to us, where all the advanced courses are held.
The end-of-week concert
A closing concert will be held at the end of the week, on Friday 5 July 2024 in the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle. It will be open to a wide audience as well as to music professionals.
The village of Saint-Jean-de-Côle has been listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Its history is closely linked to its priory, built in the 11th century, and its castle. The church, listed as a historic monument since 1862, dates from the same period.
The closing concert takes place in this exceptional setting. We want to make it an unforgettable moment for our young talents performing in front of a large audience and for our special guests (agents, journalists, VIPs, etc.). We hope that this concert will receive adequate media coverage and help people discover this part of the Périgord region.
Accommodation
Our students will be staying in a gîte at the village of Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas.
The aim is to give students the opportunity to spend time and socialise with other students from different countries. Together they will have access to leisure activities. The premises are equipped with study pianos for individual rehearsals.
The gîte de la Baine is a property situated in a hamlet off the road between Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas and Saint-Jean-de-Côle, comprising two tastefully restored houses, one traditional and the other contemporary, and a barn converted into a comfortable games room with table tennis and table football. Each person on the property can enjoy their own independence, but there are also communal areas where you can meet up whenever you like.

Séjour dans le Périgord Vert
Nos participants peuvent se consacrer entièrement à la musique, loin du tumulte de la vie quotidienne grâce à un environnement authentique. Ici, les patrimoines naturel et culturel se complètent parfaitement pour bâtir un bel horizon à nos jeunes.
La semaine de Masterclass
Nous invitons les participants à nous rejoindre dans le Périgord Vert, à St. Martin-de-Fressengeas le 28 Juin 2025.
Nos invités reçoivent chaque jour une leçon individuelle avec Monsieur Denis Pascal et, bien entendu, l'hébergement, la restauration et les activités annexes sont également pris en charge par Ad Manaurem 1762. Parmi celles-ci, on notera la visite des sites historiques du Périgord, mais aussi une session de “voice coaching” afin de mieux maîtriser la façon de s’exprimer particulièrement en public.
Ce module sera couvert par Madame Petra Andrensek avec des sessions individuelles.
La Manaurie
This is where the roots of Ad Manaurem 1762 lie, and we're delighted to open our doors to our guests. Warm hospitality is part of the Périgord culture, as are all the regional culinary delights. We hope you will feel at home here.
