Tiny Tots are immersive orchestra concerts for kids 7 and under (and their adults).
Designed and performed by professional musicians, educators and guest artists.
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.
The 2022-23 Season! Tiny Tots Program Themes
Inside the Story: A Surprise for Rabbit – Presented in partnership with Lighthouse Writers Workshop and Art Students League of Denver. Featuring an original story by children’s book author Denise Vega along with a group of young authors, illustrations by Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand, original score by Emmy award-winning composer Charles Denler, storytelling from Denver Center for the Performing Arts, dance from Hannah Kahn Dance Company, and more – this will be a Tiny Tots unlike any you’ve seen before. All children will go home with a copy of the bilingual book!
Christmas: Families will enjoy their favorite holiday music along with the orchestra and special guests including singalongs, musical appearances from favorite holiday characters, and traditional orchestral works alongside holiday pop favorites.
Orchestra Adventure: Children will join a teaching artist and special guests on a quest to explore the orchestra and instruments while working together to discover mysterious sounds, musical secrets and treasures that will help them solve a giant musical puzzle. They’ll be on their feet dancing and singing along with the orchestra and special guests from Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Central City Opera.
Let’s Build: Children will help the orchestra create, build and even tear down some fun musical structures during these outdoor performances.
