Participants from all parts of Spain took part in the seminars and practice master class by Patrick Busseuil (French composer and accordion teacher). Participants also learned the possibilities of the new Roland V-Accordion FR7X with the presentation of the ‘IV International V-Accordion’ contest. This event was conducted by Fran Gallego (Roland Iberia Marketing Director) and Concha Rodríguez (Roland Madrid) and a musical performance by Miguel Angel Rumbo (2009 Spanish finalist). On Saturday April 24th UNAC also organized an accordion concert in the Mansilla Palace (Segovia) by Serbian competition´s winner Dragan Vasiljevic.
