Our program is an experience like no other ? children get to discover what it is to be truly inside the orchestra as they are seated on the floor and surrounded by our professional musicians. Designed for children six and under, this 45-minute program gives young ones the chance to interact with the conductor and the musicians and learn about the instruments in the process. By incorporating contemporary music, we teach children that orchestral music is all around them and part of their everyday lives. By introducing classical music, we help them explore music they might never have heard before. By encouraging them to interact directly with the conductor and the musicians we show them that music is designed to be explored and enjoyed. By highlighting a child their age excelling musically, we inspire them to pick up an instrument and remind them that music is accessible. Through partnerships with Central City Opera and Kim Robards Dance we feature a professional opera singer and professional dancers in every performance. Each performance will also feature new and unique instruments that have never performed with us before as we celebrate our 30th season. The winter season will feature the harp.
