Ad Manaurem 1762, mécénat pour les jeunes musiciens. Notre objectif est de soutenir des jeunes musiciens à un moment de leur carrière où ils en ont besoin. 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. Stay in the Périgord Vert We invite the laureates to join us in this place where, since the earliest traces of humanity, artists have expressed themselves with complete freedom. Here, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life, our participants can dedicate themselves entirely to music. In this authentic environment, where natural and cultural heritage blend perfectly, our artists can begin to shape a bright future. Accommodation Our students are accommodated in guesthouses around the village of Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas. The goal is to give students the opportunity to spend time and interact with other students from different countries. Together, they will have access to leisure activities. The locations are equipped with practice pianos for individual rehearsals for the piano master classes and have ample spaces to practice other instruments. For example, the Gîte de la Baine is a property located in a hamlet off the road between Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas and Saint-Jean-de-Côle. It consists of two tastefully restored houses, one in a traditional style and the other in a contemporary style, and a small barn converted into a comfortable game room with a ping-pong table and a foosball table. Each person can enjoy independence on the property, with shared spaces available for gathering at chosen times. An exceptional venue for master classes: The Château de La Marthonie This iconic château of the Périgord Vert has been owned by the Beaumont-Beynac family since the 11th century. Rebuilt in the 15th century and expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries, it welcomes us into its grand salons, an ideal setting for advanced courses. It is one of those places where you immediately feel at ease. The end-of-week concert A closing concert is held at the end of the week in the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle. It is open to a wide audience as well as music professionals. The village of Saint-Jean-de-Côle has been ranked as one of the most beautiful villages in France. We aim to make this an unforgettable moment for our young talents performing in front of a large audience and for our distinguished guests (agents, journalists, VIPs, etc.).

Some conservatories have already begun their selections, which have been made easier by our growing reputation for excellence—thanks in large part to the word-of-mouth from our alumni who cherish wonderful memories of their time in Périgord. An important moment will be our Annual General Meeting. Please note that, contrary to our previous announcement, it will now take place on Friday, April 10, starting at 5:30 PM at the Salle des Fêtes in Saint-Martin-de-Fressengeas (instead of Saturday, April 11). A formal invitation will be sent to you during February. We are also very pleased to announce that on February 12 in Paris, Tom Carré, one of our pianists from the 2025 season, will perform as a soloist at the Concert des Avant-Scènes at the Cité de la Musique-Philharmonie (8:00 PM) with the Orchestre des Lauréats du Conservatoire.

Ad Manaurem 1762, mécénat pour les jeunes musiciens. Notre objectif est de soutenir des jeunes musiciens à un moment de leur carrière où ils en ont besoin. EDITORIAL MARCH 2025 For the Love of Music, For the Love of Art Dear friends and supporters of the Ad Manaurem 1762 association, Music has always been, for me, like painting for the ears —colors that vibrate, textures that unfold, light and shadow that dance in sound. Just as a brushstroke can capture a fleeting emotion, a single note can hold the weight of a lifetime. This is why I love music with the same passion that I pour into painting and photography. And that is why I believe it is essential to help young musicians shape their own artistic identity. With Ad Manaurem 1762, I have the great joy of turning this conviction into action. This year, we are offering young conservatory students the opportunity to participate in an exceptional masterclass in Périgord – a place where history, beauty, and music come together. For a week, under the guidance of great masters, these young artists refine their technique, push their limits, and deepen their understanding of their art. I know what it means to dedicate oneself to art. The long hours, the doubts, the relentless pursuit of something just beyond reach. But I also know the joy of creating, the fire that burns when inspiration strikes, the irreplaceable feeling of being fully alive in one’s art. And I know, too, how important it is to have someone who believes in you, who opens a door when you need it most. This is what patronage is about. It is giving back to music what it has given me: wonder, passion, and the certainty that art – in all its forms – makes the world richer, deeper, and more beautiful. To the young musicians embarking on this journey: may this week in Périgord be for you a discovery, a challenge, a magic. And may music always illuminate your path. Amitiés, Priska Wallimann Design & Marketing NEWS DECEMBER 2024 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. BIOGRAPHIE DECEMBER 2024 Giving Tuesday x CNSMDP On this Giving Tuesday, the Conservatoire de Paris pays tribute to all those who support their students. Thanks to you, 1 in 4 students can continue their studies and share their talent with the world. Discover a day at the Conservatoire and the impact of your generosity. 15 NOVEMBER 2024 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. OCTOBER 2024 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! Photo: With Matthew Ross at the Royal Academy of Music in London

These collaborations brought together three exceptional quartets for an extraordinary masterclass, passionately led by Johannes Meissl, Professor of Chamber Music and Vice-Rector for International Affairs and the Arts at the mdw (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) and artistic director of this season. His expertise, enthusiasm, and the quality of his teaching left a deep impression on our young artists. Domonkos Hartmann, Riya Hamie, Eleanor Holmes, Chloe Prins, Constance Hayward, Adele Quartier de Andrade, Johannes Meissl, Karla Križ, Erin Pitts, Tim de Vries, Elliott Pages, Jean-Baptiste Iachemet, David Heusler (l-r) Highlights of the week Beyond the daily individual lessons, our young talents were able to fully benefit from an ideal working environment. The serene and inspiring atmosphere of the château fostered a unique setting conducive to creativity and personal growth. High-quality accommodation allowed them to work and rehearse without constraint, 24 hours a day. The closing concert in Saint-Jean-de-Côle The closing concert on Friday, August 29th, held in the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle, was a true triumph. Welcoming over 250 spectators, the virtuosity of our three quartets won over a discerning audience, who saluted them with a standing ovation worthy of the greatest summer stages. We express our deep gratitude to the talented photographers of the "Objectif Photo en Périgord Vert" association for capturing these precious moments throughout the week, and for graciously making their images available to us. Our sincerest thanks go to the members, volunteers, and the board of directors of Ad Manaurem 1762. Their unwavering commitment and support are essential to the excellence and sustainability of our association. We were also deeply honored by the presence of Ms. Ulrike Sych, Rector of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw), as well as Professor Cobus Swanepoel, Director of Classical Music at the ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts). Their presence by our side is an invaluable sign of trust and sincerely touched us. A big thank you also to our valuable supporters, without whom none of this would be possible: The Communauté de Communes du Périgord-Limousin, and in particular its President, Michel Augeix (Mayor of St Martin de Fressengeas), Isabelle Hyvoz (Mayor of Thiviers and Regional Councillor), Francis Sedan (Mayor of Saint-Jean-de-Côle), and Raphaël Chipeaux (First Deputy of Nantheuil and Vice-President in charge of Culture). Their support was decisive for the realization of our project. La Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, for its commitment and trust from the very beginning of our project. Crédit Agricole, and more particularly the Thiviers branch, which has always welcomed, guided, and helped us, to the extent of allowing us to obtain significant funding from the Fondation du Crédit Agricole Charente-Périgord for the purchase of a piano for our new residence for musicians. And of course, a big thank you to Périgord Magazine, our media partner. A very beautiful article about Ad Manaurem 1762 can be found in their pages.

Les Masterclass de musique se déroulent dans le Périgord. Journey in the Périgord Vert We believe that in this beneficent Périgord Vert, where natural and built heritage combine to perfection, we can surround these artists and offer them an unforgettable odyssey at the dawn of their careers. In this way, we give them an extra chance to succeed in their lives as musicians. La Manaurie We're from Périgord, and we're generous about sharing what we've been handed down.

It is here that they will meet other young musicians, as well as the guest personalities who will share their experience and, we hope, give them advice. 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.

Biographie de Denis Pascal, Pianiste, Directeur Artistique et Professeur pour la Masterclass 2024 de Ad Manaurem 1762 Biography Denis Pascal has established himself as one of the most original figures on the French piano scene, performing in France and throughout the world as both soloist and chamber musician. His career has taken off abroad, with numerous appearances in Europe, of course, but also in the United States and Asia. In France, he has won over audiences at most of the Paris venues (Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Châtelet, Philharmonie, Maison de la Radio, Théâtre de la Ville, Salle Gaveau, Opéra Garnier), as well as at numerous international festivals. Keen to maintain a historical awareness of the repertoire, Denis Pascal leaves the beaten track and gives concerts that are both memorable and open to all, rigorously applying a consistent ethic. Denis Pascal's discography reflects his musical commitments. Among the discographic projects that have received enormous critical acclaim, a perfect illustration of Denis Pascal's immense curiosity is a disc devoted to Jean Wiener for Sisyphe, which won a Diapason d'Or. With his two sons Alexandre (violin) and Aurélien Pascal (cello), they form the Pascal Trio. In March 2021, they released their first CD on La Música, devoted to Schubert's trios, to critical acclaim. The Trio Pascal quickly gained renown, and Denis and his two sons regularly performed together in a number of renowned venues and festivals. A disciple of Pierre Sancan, Denis Pascal also studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris with Jacques Rouvier, Léon Fleisher and György Sándor. Denis Pascal went on to study with György Sebök, of whom he was one of the main disciples, at Indiana University in Bloomington. This was followed by regular tours with the great cellist János Starker. A much-appreciated teacher, he was appointed professor at the CNSM in Lyon in January 2010, then at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris in April 2011. WEBSITE DENIS PASCAL
