Founded in 2011 by piano teacher Wendy Wu, IMPACT is a 501(c) non-profit organization that works to bolster acoustic music in the community.

​

OUR MISSION is to develop creative programs by integrating a unique blend of world cultures into our musical performances. We also hope to offer opportunities for aspiring artists and young musicians to perform at prestigious venues around the world. IMPACT provides a cultural and educational exchange experience through touring concerts partnered with local organizations that share our goals and interests.

​

The goal of the organization is threefold:

  • CULTURAL EXCHANGE: Bridging the gap between different cultures by using music as a common language to express our similarities and display our diversity as we perform and tour and tour in different countries

  • PERFORMANCE: Offering opportunities for aspiring artists and young musicians to perform at prestigious venues around the world. This allows the performers to display the artistic richness of the various nationalities they represent.

  • EDUCATION: Providing participants with musical enrichment through the preparation of their concert repertoire. They will learn about the different countries they visit while on tour, and expose the people they meet about the cultures the troupe represents through their performance.
