Inside The Orchestra
Our Programs
01
Tiny Tots: Family Concerts
Tiny Tots programs are 45-minute immersive, interactive concerts for kids 7 and under (and their adults) to get truly “inside the orchestra.” Attendees are seated on the ground and encircled by our 30+ piece orchestra. Music selection, program design, and scripting are all geared to connect young children with music – physically, emotionally, and developmentally.
02
Online Resources
On demand performances, games, curriculum, and educational videos. Divided into three categories: for families and children 0-7, for elementary classrooms, and resources for kids and adults of all ages. Topics include fundamental music concepts, musical storytelling, composer biographies, and more.
03
In School Programs & Field Trip Opportunities
School Programs are designed to support and enhance the school curricula. All of our programming is interactive and carefully designed for the age and stage of your students. We can come to you, or take a field trip to one of our Tiny Tots Orchestra Concerts.

- Music education that sparks imagination
- Inclusive programs for all communities
- Hands-on experiences that leave a lasting impact
Belonging
We believe music and orchestral programming should be a place for everyone. Through our programs, children are not just spectators—they see themselves in the orchestra, reflected in the people, the stories, and the sounds. They are seen, heard, and embraced as part of the musical world.
Creativity
We believe creativity begins with curiosity. Through hands-on music exploration, engaging concert experiences, and up-close encounters with musicians and their instruments, we spark children’s imaginations and invite them to see the world through a creative lens.
Accessibility
We believe every child deserves access to the joy of music. Our programs are designed with children at the center—welcoming neurodivergent children and those with intellectual or developmental disabilities through thoughtful adaptations, sensory-friendly environments, and a commitment to meeting young audience members where they are.
Innovation
We are reimagining what an orchestra looks and feels like for kids. Through playful, immersive experiences, we’re creating a new kind of musical world bringing orchestral music directly into schools, communities, and imaginations.
