Designed for children ages zero through five, the series uses short, sensory-friendly performances to introduce orchestral instrument families. The symphony developed the program with San Diego State University's Center for Autism.
The announced accessibility supports included a quiet room, sensory kits available on request and social stories to help families prepare. Pre-concert activities included crafts, reading and instrument exploration in collaboration with ChIMES, KeyNote's early-childhood music program.
The remaining series dates were organized around brass, percussion and woodwind instruments. This younger-child program was separate from the symphony's full-orchestra family concerts for children ages six through 12.
