On this occasion, the association Ad Manaurem 1762 was awarded the jury’s “Coup de cœur” prize before a large audience composed of elected representatives from the Dordogne, as well as many members of the local economic community. Odile Laroche, publishing director of Périgord Magazine, presented the mission of Ad Manaurem 1762 and highlighted what makes it unique: the organisation of outstanding masterclasses bringing together young talents from Europe’s leading conservatoires, fully supported by the association thanks to patronage. She also recalled the enthusiasm generated by the final concerts, always of remarkable quality, held in the exceptional setting of the church of Saint-Jean-de-Côle. These events offer the public the opportunity to enjoy a musical experience worthy of the greatest concert halls. In conclusion, she emphasised that Ad Manaurem 1762 “represents a true opportunity for our region, which can take pride in hosting a musical event of the highest calibre every year.” Didier Sourisseau, president of the association, received the trophy — created by the Nontron cutlery workshop and a true work of art — surrounded by Thierry de Beaumont, mayor of Saint-Jean-de-Côle, and Raphaël Chipeaux, president of the Périgord-Limousin community of municipalities and mayor of Nantheuil.

Il est reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs pédagogues de sa génération. Denis Pascal Pianist, Artistic Director and Teacher for the Masterclass 2024 BIOGRAPHY 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.
