About the Performers
Presbyterian Community Services (PCS) Esther Active Ageing Centre (AAC) initiated a Men's Guitar Club named The Estheritar in November 2022 with the aim of implementing an active ageing program that would kindle the interest and passion of older male visitors within the AAC community.
The activities of this guitar club provide a platform for seniors to interact with their peers, share their love for music, and inspire others with their talent and dedication. The club also strives to prevent social isolation among seniors in our community and foster the spirit of active ageing.
