The mission of Inside the Orchestra is to bring orchestra music to young children in the greater Denver metropolitan community, cultivating music appreciation and enhancing their education through an engaging first-hand experience with the orchestra.

Our programs are an experience like no other – children get to discover what it is to be inside the orchestra as they are seated on the floor and surrounded by our professional musicians. 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. By inviting a child up to conduct, we offer a once-in-a-lifetime chance to lead an orchestra. Through a partnership with Central City Opera, we feature a professional opera singer in every performance. There is no alternative to the interactive experience that Inside the Orchestra performances provides.
