About the Silvertones

About

The Silvertones Senior Choir is a welcoming community of active and older adults who come together each week to sing, laugh, learn, and connect. With approximately 150 singers, Silvertones brings people of all musical backgrounds and experience levels together through the simple joy of making music.

No audition is required, and you don't need to know how to read music. Our members range from complete beginners to experienced singers, and everyone has a place in the choir. Whether you're rediscovering a love of singing, trying something new, or looking for a meaningful way to stay connected with others, Silvertones offers a supportive and joyful musical community.

Each week, singers participate in vocal warm-ups, learn healthy and effective singing techniques, and rehearse music selected around a common theme. Our repertoire ranges from songs sung in unison to more challenging four-part arrangements, giving singers opportunities to learn and grow while having fun along the way.

And while we come together to sing, Silvertones is about much more than music. Weekly rehearsals provide opportunities for friendship, laughter, learning, and social connection. Singing with others can be energizing, engaging, and deeply rewarding—and our members know firsthand the joy that comes from making music together.

Each Silvertones season includes two fourteen-week sessions, each culminating in a public concert. Come sing with us and discover the joy of being part of Silvertones!

Our History

The Silvertones Senior Choir began in 2012 as an outreach program of the Larimer Chorale, created to provide active and older adults with opportunities for recreational singing, lifelong learning, and wellness. The idea grew from a city-wide study that identified a need for engaging, meaningful recreational opportunities for the area's growing older-adult population.

Larimer Chorale Artistic Director Michael Todd Krueger and retired Executive Director Wendy D. White developed the program together, envisioning a choir where adults could experience the many joys of singing in a welcoming, social environment. The name Silvertones Senior Choir was chosen by the members themselves.

In 2023, Silvertones became a member ensemble of the Larimer Choral Society, marking a new chapter in the program's history while continuing its original mission: bringing people together through music, friendship, and joy.

Today, Silvertones continues to grow as a vibrant community of singers who believe you're never too old—or too inexperienced—to make music.
