We have enjoyed the past 2 days with Anthony de Mare, our guest Artist-in-Residence in the 3 week Traditional Session. On Sunday, he played a masterful recital of 20th and 21st century piano works. Today, he gave a talk to our participants on extended techniques. Tomorrow he will give a masterclass.

An exceptional concert given by our Artist Participants tonight.

We had another outstanding concert by our Artist Participants. Congratulations to all.

John O'Conor's masterclass week is always a highlight here at Adamant. Here are some remembrances from last week.

The first day of the John O'Conor masterclass featured the brilliant teaching and great performances by 6 of our performers featuring the music of Beethoven, Chopin, and Szymankwski.

The final evening of the 2024 Christopher Elton featured outstanding performances by Yundi Xu, Janet Hickey, Benny Young, Alexandra Eames, Eliza Thomas, and Szymon Czerniak. Bravo to all!

Our opening concert was a huge success. Congratulations to the following participants of the 2024 Elton Masterclass (Pictured from left to right): Qize Liu, Richard Nguyen, Mateo Arango, Andrew Wood, Christopher Elton, Janice Nimetz, Yijiao Wang,, Jisoo Kim, Yundi Xu, and Naomi Wong.

Day 2 of the Christopher Elton Masterclass was another day of great music-making and inspired teaching.

Today was a beautiful start of our summer sessions with excellent performers of the Christopher Elton Masterclass.

It has been a crazy week getting ready for our 2024 summer season. We are looking forward to welcoming participants in the Christopher Elton Masterclass tomorrow.
