Report on V-Accordion Festival 2008

The V-Accordion Festival 2008 was held on September 27th in the Gustave Eiffel Room on level one of the Eiffel Tower.

In general, all the candidates were very skillful, which didn't make the jury's task any easier. The jury was composed of: Ludovic Beier (President), assisted by Marc Berthoumieux, Bernard Marly, Marco Cinaglia (Roland Europe) and Jeroen Ravesloot (Roland Central Europe).

All contestants have really surpassed themselves and succeeded in quickly getting familiar with the V-Accordion and using its potential to the very best. Most of them only discovered these instruments during this competition.

Each contestant played for 5 minutes, all in very different repertoires, which clearly illustrates the versatility of these instruments.

1st place : Eric Allard-Jacquin (wins an FR-3 SB)
2nd place : Alexis Lambert (wins a CD-2e)
3rd place : Renée Verleg (wins an R-09H)
