In 2004 this choral arose within the framework of the Senior Association of Students of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Its final consolidation was in 2005 with the participation in academic events of the 2005-06 academic year. Throughout the following years, the number of members and performances at events organized by the Valencia Town Council, the Palau de la Música and in radio broadcasts of the Valencian Community increased. Likewise the choral took part in the programme Viure I Conviure. At the end of 2009, it counts with 38 members and its evolution has been strengthened by the integration of the choral as an academic activity within the Senior programme of the UPV.

The choral has its origin in the 2005-06 academic year within the framework of workshops of the Senior Programme of the UNEX. Right from its beginning it has grown through rehearsals and elemental singing technique exercises to what is the choral nowadays, which interprets polyphonic pieces of some importance. The choral of the University Programme for Older Adults finds itself integrated within the Choral Federation of the Spanish Region Extremadura and participates in the meetings that are held in various municipalities and towns of the Extremadura region. Besides, it performs in formal events of the University of Extremadura. |
