Chris Craey (69) plays the clarinet in the Mechels SeniorenOrkest. An orchestra that consists of all members above the age of 55 playing music for other seniors. 

Every performance is a highlight in Chris’ life and gives her a lot of fulfillment. She also loves giving joy to other people.

‘There is a really big friendship between the members. We aren’t only interested in the music, but also in each others lives. We care about each other and have a lot of fun. I’m so thankful for the fact that music is a part of my life.’
