The festival aims to reach as many people as possible, and for that reason the key word is “meeting” – between the different brands of accordions, between international artists and teachers, between the city and the guests, according to Francesca Santini of Ideazione Eventi.

Reports of the festival event, competitions and the competition results will be online. Castelfidardo Full Detailed Results - Photograph Report

Festival Roland V-accordéon - Belgique& France
Contribué par Olivier Kerkhofs of Roland Central Europe

Le 28 septembre, les semi-finales hollandaises ont eu lieu au sièges sociaux de Roland central Europe en Belgique. Ce concours était pour les contestants flamands et Néerlandais de la Belgique. Quatre concurrents ont donné leur meilleur pour convaincre le jury qu'ils sont les meilleurs joueurs de V-Accordéon. Les milieux du contestant étaient très différents, du professeur à l'étudiant, ils ont tout essayé leur meilleur !

Chaque contestant a dû jouer un morceau musical de trois jusqu'à cinq minutes. Ils ont été jugées sur la technique, l'originalité et les qualifications.

Le gagnant des semi-finale-finales hollandaises est Pieter Bosma (30 années Coevoorden, de Hollande). Il est un professionnel et donne des leçons d'accordéon. Il a joué sa propre version artistique du `Kwartet Musette', par Allan Mussini, sur son propre FR-7b.

Tous les contestants ont reçu un prix de leur effort. Le gagnant reçu un FR-3, la seconde un CD-2, le tiers un R-09 et le quart un micro cube.

Le 20 octobre, ces trois qualifiés aux finales seront présents, avec les 3 qualifiés aux finales françaises, sur la grande finale de Roland Central Europe. De ces six concurrents, une personne sera choisie pour aller à la finale internationale en Italie!

Le Semi-finale française a eu lieu à la ville de Bourboule dans le casino de Nice. La Bourboule est à 500 kilomètres de Paris direction sud-ouest, près de Clermont-Ferrand. 10 musiciens ont été choisis à participer, 5 venant de l'école d'accordéon internationale et célèbre CNIMA. Ce concours était également ouvert au concurrents de langue française de Belgique et du Luxembourg.

Le jury s'est composé de Ludovic Beier (accordéoniste, joueur de démo du V-Accordéon), de Daniel Deruytere (Roland Central Europe) et de Philippe Krumm (directeur du magazine d’ `Accordeons et Accordeonistes). Pendant l'après-midi, Daniel a montré et expliqué à l’assistances les séries FR et a joué des duets avec Ludovic.

L'assistance était principalement composé par accordéonistes, environ 70% - grâce au CNIMA. Notre événement a été au même jour du quart de finale de la coupe du monde de rugby. Ainsi, je considère que ce défi a été réussi une fois que nous avons reçu autour de 120 personnes pour voir le festival de V-Accordéons.

Le niveau technique de la plupart des concurrents était très élevé. Ils ont employé beaucoup de diférent son et le pedalier, explorant au maximum le potentiel du FR.

Le gagnant, Felicien Brut, et 3ème placé, Amelie Castel, sont venus de CNIMA, tandis que le 2eme placé, le concurrent Bereswind Olland, a fait plusieurs cours de formation au CNIMA.

Pour cette raison UNAC est actuellement soutenant et favorisant des événements importants organisés par différents associations et groupes :
- le 20ème anniversaire de l'orchestre de Zero-Sette, la cinquantième édition du Certámen Nacional de Acordeón, le 15ème festival international de Cantabrian, la conférence internationale de jazz de Zarautz, la semaine d'accordéon de Valladolid, etc., en plus d'une pleine et diverse liste de conférences et de Master Classes données par Bonnay maximum, Luciano Biondini, Frederic Deschamps, Ignacio Alfayé et Jean-Louis Noton.

UNAC voudrait également appeler l'attention sur le nombre de plus en plus important de nouveaux enregistrements commerciaux crées par ses membres, maintenant étant édités.
