The figure of speech being used in the statement is a pun. In this case, the pun is "in a chord," which sounds like the phrase "in accord." The deeper meaning is that the two pianists are not only harmonious in their marriage, but also in their music -- they are in tune with each other both personally and professionally. The pun adds a playful and lighthearted element to the description of their relationship, highlighting their musical connection.
