This year’s V-Accordion Festival holds a special significance, as Roland is also celebrating reaching the milestone of 10,000 V-Accordions sold since its launch in 2004. Accordion players everywhere have embraced the versatile nature of Roland V-Accordions, and have discovered that the warm sound and tactile playability of this charming instrument remains unchanged from its traditional relatives.
The National V-Accordion Festival will be held at Roland Corporation U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles, California, and will bring together some of America’s most talented accordionists. The Grand Prize winner will win a Roland FR-7x accordion and a trip to Rome, Italy, to compete for the World Title and 5,000 euros at the fourth International Accordion Festival in October*.
Initial audition entrants may play on a traditional accordion or a Roland V-Accordion, with both amateurs and professionals eligible to compete. The chosen national finalists will then play on V-Accordions, via special loan arrangements by Roland Corporation U.S. and its dealers.
