Third edition - Published on 2009-10-7
After four months of competition and an intense round of judging, our expert jury has determined the top three semi-finalists who will compete live at the Canadian National Finals in Mississauga, Ontario.
Le Festival s'est déroulé le 12 septembre 2009 à Buezt sur Tarn.
2 catégories de 3 accordéonistes se sont surpassés en montrant une fois de plus qu'il est très facile de passer d'un accordéon acoustique à un V-Accordéon Roland.
Dans la catégorie "Junior", il n'a pas été facile de départager le gagnant tant le niveau était élevé. Je Jury composé de Jean Corti, Ludovic Beier et Thierry Capdeville ont finalement voté pour Angel Villart(12 ans), Mathieu Barbier 2ème et Marion Lamolinairie 3ème.
Dans la catégorie des "Seniors", C'est Nicolas Koch qui s'est imposé face a Philippe Tauzies et Demis delatie.
Nicolas Koch ira donc en Finale à Rome le 20 & 21 novembre.

In January 1950, the the NAO was officially admitted as a founder member of the Third Constitutive Assembly of the Confederation Internationale des Accordeonistes (CIA).
The 9 Junior and 7 Senior V Accordion Festival entrants played to an audience of over 150 people.
