The Silver Chord Choir is the community seniors’ choir in the City of Port Coquitlam. It was started in 1968 as a fun way for seniors who enjoy singing to get together, make music and above all, have fun doing it. Now, 58 years later, we have almost forty members, most of whom turn out to regular rehearsals and performances. Our members range from 50 to over 90 years old!
