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. That's why this house is keen to welcome its guests for a week. As this is a human adventure, we will be sharing with them the warm hospitality of the Périgord and, of course, its gastronomy. 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. 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. (Find the gîte de la Baine on grandgîtes.com)

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. © Unsplash - Claude Grabriel 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. Do you like our project? We are a non-profit organization. The more people who are enthusiastic about our organization and support it, the more young musicians we can offer this masterclass to. Your membership allows you to become a patron of tomorrow's generation of musicians and an integral part of Ad Manaurem 1762. You will be involved in this ambitious project, receive regular detailed information and, of course, meet our young talents at the final concert in July 2024. Philanthropy While we want to maintain a human approach, our project is also aimed at major donors, whether individuals, foundations or companies. Please contact us directly so that we can have the opportunity to meet you and tell you more about our project. Enterprises: Investing in young people We offer companies sponsorship programmes that fit in with their strategy. Our excellence-based approach is a genuine motivational tool for teams and can also be applied on a long-term basis.

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. 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.
