Welcome to Tiny Tots!
We encourage children to move during the program! Feel free to let your little ones get up, dance, and participate in the interactive moments. Please be mindful of musicians and other attendees. Have any questions, comments, or concerns? Find a Tiny Tots volunteer or staff member in a Christmas sweater and a nametag and we'll be happy to help!
About Us At Inside the Orchestra, we firmly believe that introducing children to the arts at a young age strengthens not only that child, but the community as well. In order to be inclusive of all children, we underwrite our concerts, thus providing experiences that are otherwise unavailable to many children, communities, and schools. Inside the Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Our Main Programs All of our programs get children inside the orchestra as they are seated on the floor and surrounded by professional musicians. Programs include diverse music and feature guest artists from other cultural organizations.
Tiny Tots Designed for children six and under. Tiny Tots seats the audience inside of a 30+ piece orchestra. Programs are held in locations all around the Denver metro area, from Parker to Boulder and in between.
Inside the Orchestra for Schools A 14+ piece orchestra outreach program for k-8 schoolchildren. Both the repertoire and approach to learning are designed to support and enhance the school curricula. Schools also receive in-depth follow-up sessions with our conductor.
Additional Programs Inside the Orchestra offers programs for children with sensory processing disorders and adults with dementia through partnerships with the Autism Society and Alzheimers Association. We also have performances for homeschool students in kindergarten through eighth grade. And for the grown-ups, we have one exciting, adults-only event a year, Inside the Orchestra for Adults.
