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 OCTOBRE 2026 Dear Friends, Our 2026 season came to a wonderful close with a dazzling string quartet concert. Alongside the exceptional performance by Vienna’s Aiolos Quartet, one moment will remain particularly close to our hearts: the deeply moving rendition of the Norwegian national anthem by Norse (formerly Sostenuto), performed in tribute to their late king. Another unforgettable moment came with a surprise finale by the Galilee Quartet, which transported us into the enchanting musical world of the Middle East. Our heartfelt thanks go to all of you who joined us in such great numbers. Your presence and continued support are what keep our philanthropic mission alive. Plans for the 2027 season are already underway, with a truly special event to look forward to on Friday, 2 July: the String Orchestra of the French Republican Guard will accompany our award-winning young pianists in what promises to be a memorable concert!

JUNE 2026 Award for Ad Manaurem 1762 On Tuesday, 2 June, the Spring Awards Ceremony for Economic Dynamism in Périgord took place in Périgueux. The event was organised by Périgord Magazine and the Dordogne Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 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. DECEMBER 2025 The Dordogne-Périgord Department We are delighted to announce that we have received the support of the Dordogne-Périgord Department.

DECEMBER 2025 Giving Tuesday On Giving Tuesday, we join the Paris Conservatoire in celebrating generosity. Your support is vital: without it, 1 in 4 students could not pursue their studies. Thank you for empowering the next generation of artists! DECEMBER 2025 Welcome Christopher Hinterhuber Ad Manaurem 1762 is greatly honoured to announce the arrival of Christopher Hinterhuber as Artistic Director for Piano for the 2026 season.

For this season, he will bring the excellence of Viennese music to our young laureates, thereby strengthening the international reputation of our work in the Périgord Vert.” — Didier Sourisseau Photo: Julia Wesely BIOGRAPHIE SEPTEMBER 2025 A New Piano Enriches Our Music Residency We are delighted about the arrival of our new digital piano for the Ad Manaurem 1762 music residency.

AUGUST 2025 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.

Chairman of major international groups, he has successfully managed teams all over the world, particularly in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Africa. With his strong leadership skills, he has never ceased to defend excellence as a source of continuous improvement, and to encourage the development of young people and the transmission of knowledge. Throughout this intense life, his refuge has always been the Périgord and his family home "La Manaurie". A place of inspiration, it was here that he naturally created his patronage project for young people and for music, his other passion. He is keen to help this new generation of musicians by offering them a moment which, he hopes, will be the catalyst for their future success. Thierry de Beaumont-Beynac Vice-Chairman, Co-founder Thierry de Beaumont-Beynac spent his professional career as a bank and insurance company executive before helping to set up an artificial intelligence company serving insurance companies. At the same time, he was actively involved in charitable associations, notably the Order of Malta, where he was President for 20 years. Passionate about the Périgord region, where his family branch has been established for almost 450 years, he took over from his parents in the restoration of the family castle of La Marthonie in St. Jean-de-Côle, a village in whose church he helped to organise concerts for 30 years. Among the many international distinctions Thierry has received, he remains attached to those of Officier de la Légion d'Honneur and Officier des Arts et des Lettres.

She was recognised by her peers for her work and was awarded the Palmes Académiques. In her home town of Le Bouscat, she also put her commitment to Franco-German reconciliation to good use, with musical exchanges in particular that were to become a milestone and an example for other communities. Now retired to the Périgord region, she is involved in local life and is putting all her energy and experience at the service of Ad Manaurem. Bruno Baudoin Treasurer, Co-founder Bruno Baudoin is a specialist in the field of nutrition and health.
