Roland AtelierLandmark Organ Sound, Performance, and Luxury
by Ellen Gonzales
Roland Corporation U.S. is excited to announce the second annual Atelier Organ Fest is about to begin! The Inaugural Atelier Organ Fest last year was a huge success and far exceeded our expectations. And this year promises to be even bigger and better!
The Atelier Organ Fest offers organ enthusiasts of all ages an opportunity to showcase their talents. By encouraging students, hobbyists and professionals to challenge their playing skills, share their music with others and learn how to use the many features of the Next Generation Atelier, the Atelier Organ Fest is a vehicle for the player to take their playing skills to a whole new level.
The 2009–2010 Atelier Organ Fest will be open to all across the country. Information and registration packets are currently being sent to participating Atelier Dealers and Local Atelier Fests will be held throughout September and October, 2009. Representatives from each of the local Fests will be selected by our expert panel of judges to represent their market area at the Regional Finals to be held in the Spring of 2010, followed by the National Finals to be held in Los Angeles, California.
For more information and to register to participate, please contact your local Atelier Dealer or send an e-mail to: organfest@rolandus.com.
