On Saturday February 17th 2018 Sones Segovianos' youth orchestra performed at the local campus of Nicaragua's National Autonomous University (UNAN) in Estelí. They participated in an activity in honor of Don Felipe Urrutia, an important folk musician from Northern Nicaragua who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on February 5th, but who passed away in 2014. Hannah Curteis, Sones Segovianos' coordinator, launched her book with Don Felipe Urrutia's music.
