Tiny Tots: Inside the Story (Field Trips for ECE – 1st Grade)
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 mentally. Named in Denver Westword’s “Best of Denver,” the experience is one-of-a-kind! These programs include a 45-minute immersive, interactive orchestral performance and meet and greet time with the musicians and performers.
Tiny Tots: Inside the Story is a large-scale musical storytime. Watch, listen, and follow along as the new children’s book, A Surprise for Rabbit, comes to life with musicians, dancers, actors, and more! Tiny Tots programs provide wonderful field trip opportunities for students in first grade and younger.
Ticket price: $12.50. We are deeply committed to equity and access in the orchestra space. If your school needs a need-based discount, let us know when you submit the request form.

They will react to guided prompts that help them to understand important musical basics while becoming artists themselves. Great for students in K-8th Grade.
