In August 2014, Sound Impact embarked on a ten day, five city tour of Costa Rica presenting masterclasses and concerts in SINEM schools (the national music education program) all across the country. In February 2015, Sound Impact will be in residency at the Arts Center in North Carolina, where it will perform its interactive music educational program to hundreds of young students.
