Michael Bridge Canadian V-Accordion Champion, Ontario – Canadaby Harley Jones |
 |
 Congratulations to Michael Bridge who was crowned the 5th Roland V-Accordion Festival National Champion and will represent Canada at the Roland International Festival in Rome, Italy, on October 21st and 22nd. The competition took place at the Hansa Haus, Mississauga, Ontario, on September 8th and for his win, Michael took home a top-of-the-line Roland FR-7X V-Accordion. 18 year old Michael Bridge impressed the audience and judges alike with his wide musical range, technical ability and stage presence performing four pieces ranging from Broadway, Baroque, and Jazz that brought the audience to their feet. Runner-up was Eugene Laskiewicz (picture above right) from Mississauga, Ontario and 3rd place was Kimberley Pritchard (picture above left), from Brooklin, Ontario, both providing intense competition and very enjoyable music for the audience. The top three semi-finalists were chosen from the entries sent from all over Canada. The Youth Division winner Yifei Zhang also performed before the sizeable audience. |
