V-Accordion Festival 2008

Roland presents the 2nd V-Accordion Festival (edition 2008), an international contest open to all accordionists. A great opportunity for all those that are tempted to embark on a unique adventure : to play on stage before an audience and to compete with other musicians from different countries.

It is not only about judging the virtuosity of the musicians, but also about the way in which they use the incredible possibilities offered by the V-Accordions, plus artistic performance and originality. These criteria make this contest accessible to virtually all accordionists. To enter the contest (qualifying round), a video or audio performance must be sent to Roland Central Europe. All types of accordions (acoustic of electronic/digital) of any brand and all musical styles are allowed.

The competition involves two age categories and is divided in two linguistic zones: The Juniors (under 18 years of age) and the Seniors (over 18 years of age), and French-speaking (France, Luxemburg, Wallonia) or Dutch-speaking (Netherlands, Flanders). The Juniors' final and the Seniors' semifinal are organized by Roland Central Europe and will be held on Saturday the 27th of September in Paris, on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower.

The contestants can win fabulous prizes, such as V-Accordions and other Roland products. The winner of the international final, taking place in Rome (Italy) on the 7th and 8th of November 2008, will take home 5000 euros in cash!

To participate, simply send an audio or video recording of your accordion performance to Roland Central Europe ecording performance with a registration form avalaible in the network of Roland dealers or on the site: http://www.rolandce.com/v-accordionfestival/
