WELCOME TO TINY TOTS! Children are welcome to move during the program. Feel free to let little ones get up, dance, and participate in the interactive moments. Adults are expected to remain seated throughout the program unless there is an emergency. Some instruments are quite fragile. Please do not touch a musician's instrument (or let a child do so) unless the musician offers for you to do so. Have any questions, comments, or concerns? Find a volunteer or staff member in a Tiny Tots shirt and we'll be happy to help!
ABOUT US Inside the Orchestra is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We firmly believe that introducing children to the world of music and the arts at a young age strengthens not only that child, but the community as a whole. 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.
Our Main Programs Our programs get children "inside the orchestra" by seating them on the floor and surrounding them with professional musicians and performers. 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 14-16 piece orchestra outreach program for k-8 schoolchildren. The repertoire and approach to learning are designed to support and enhance school curricula. We offer this program in English and Spanish/English bilingual formats.
Additional Programs Inside the Orchestra offers programs for children with sensory processing disorders in partnership with the Autism Society, programs for home school students in kindergarten through 8th grade, and - for the grownups - we have one exciting adults-only event per year, Inside the Orchestra for Adults Find out more information about all of our programs at insidetheorchestra.org

PROGRAM NOTES Hoe-Down from Rodeo This is the final movement from a ballet by Copland, one of the best-known American composers, called "Rodeo". It portrays the Wild West in all its cowboy glory. Put on your cowboy/cowgirl hats and pretend you're in the Wild West.
Carnival of the Animals - The Elephant and The Swan Saint-Saens wrote this piece purely "for fun" after a failed concert tour in Germany. Each mini-movement depicts specific characters, primarily animals. In The Elephant, pretend your arms are elephant trunks. In The Swan, use your arms as big swan wings.
Russian Sailor's Dance This piece is from Gliere's ballet "The Red Poppy" but it is often performed separately from the rest of the ballet because it is so popular. Listen to the way the music changes mood, from slow and focused to fast and energetic and use your body to show those changes.
Modern Major General from The Pirates of Penzance We'll be joined by an opera singer from Central City Opera for this piece. It is known as one of the hardest pieces of opera music to sing because of its fast speed and abundance of words. Listen closely as the General tries to impress us with all of his words and knowledge!
Superman March The Superman March starts with a noble fanfare of triumphant trumpets, brass, and percussion. The music soars just like Superman himself. Kids can stand up (or stay seated), spread their imaginary capes, and pretend to fly.
Dance of the Knights This piece is from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet ballet and features soaring strings and stomping brass. Clap or stomp along to the music like big, heavy giants.
Sabre Dance We'll be joined by Kim Robards Dance company members for this exciting piece of music. This piece from the ballet "Gayane" usually features dancers showing off their sword skills. It is one of the most recognized pieces of orchestra music from the 1900s. Watch the dancers as they glide, leap, and fly around the stage.
Scherzo from Symphony No. 3 This is a very important Symphony as it is thought to be the bridge between Classical and Romantic styles of music. Beethoven wrote it in memory of great heroes and he gave it the alternate title of "Eroica," or Heroic. Listen for the triumphant horns and pretend to play the horn when you hear them. You've Got a Friend in Me Not much needs to be said about this well-known piece if music from Toy Story! Listen to our friendly, multitalented bassist as he puts down one instrument and picks up another: his voice!
The Sorcerer's Apprentice Just like in Fantasia, Dukas based this piece off a poem where a sorcerer's apprentice accidentally fills his workshop with water while trying to hurry through chores. The narrator will tell the kids about Mickey Mouse's mishap with the buckets of water and the kids will pretend to be magicians with their buckets.
Finale from The Firebird The Firebird ballet is the story of a magical bird that goes on a quest to save seven princesses. The music is so popular that it was turned into a suite and is often played without dancers. Spread your wings and soar to this music.
How Far I'll Go from Moana How many of you have been singing this fun song since Moana premiered last November? Another special guest will join us for this song. We hope you'll all sing along with us- the lyrics are on the next page!
William Tell Overture For decades, we finished each and every Tiny Tots concert with this piece. We're playing this today to honor our history and its place as one of our favorite pieces of music ever. Put your hats back on, saddle up your horses and ride off into the sunset.
How Far I'll Go Lyrics I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every road leads back To the place I know, where I can not go, where I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island Everything is by design I know everybody on this island has a role on this island So maybe I can roll with mine I can lead with pride, I can make us strong I'll be satisfied if I play along But the voice inside sings a different song What is wrong with me? See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding But no one knows, how deep it goes And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line? The line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, how far I'll go
