Kids & Families

Family Concerts

The Florida Orchestra is partnering with organizations across Tampa Bay to present interactive concerts for families of children in pre-K through 2nd grade. Be sure to arrive early for musical playtime. Concerts will be posted as they are announced.

Sensory-Friendly Family Concerts

We have designed these performances to serve children and families with sensory sensitivities. Through our partnership with the University of South Florida’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), we are making the whole experience (preparation, Musical Playtime, and performance) sensory friendly.

Instrument Petting Zoo

Presented by the North Suncoast Associates volunteers, the Instrument Petting Zoo offers young children and their families an opportunity to see, touch, hear, and play the instruments of the orchestra. This program provides a unique, free opportunity for children to deepen their understanding of the orchestra, and encourages future enjoyment and participation in instrumental music. The Instrument Petting Zoo can be reserved for events based upon availability. Click here to request the zoo.
