Inside the Orchestra’s Tiny Tots Performances @ Buck Recreation Center
Apr 22 @ 9:30 am – 11:30 am

Tiny Tots gets children truly inside the orchestra by seating the audience on the floor and surrounding them with a 30+ piece orchestra. 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. Tiny Tots audiences receive an up-close-and-personal performance in a casual, fun environment. The experience is one-of-a-kind!
Highlights of the Spring Tiny Tots season: Kids will get to grow with music and hear music that sounds like waves, dancers from Hannah Kahn Dance Studio will perform, and an opera singer from Central City Opera will join us for an opera classic. From orchestra classics to modern movie music, kids will learn that orchestra music is all around them.
Performances are at 9:30 and 10:45.
