Look the incredible musician who's been playing her instrument for over a century, and at the age of one hundred eight is still sharing her art. A lifetime at the piano, in what's to be one of the most remarkable stories in all classical music.

This pianist, who was born on sixteenth June one thousand nine hundred fourteen, just a few weeks before the outbreak of the First World War, is about to release a new album of her performances. In a recent interview, Colette Maze told Le Figaro her new album will feature piano works by Gershwin, Piazzolla, Schumann, and Debussy, with the obvious yet astonishing title of one hundred eight Years of Piano. For over a century, she's been surrounded by music.

At two years old, youthful Colette first heard the children of her family’s upstairs neighbours playing the piano. She then began to choose out the melodies herself with one finger, prompting her parents to start her with piano lessons. When she was fifteen was accepted to study at the prestigious École Normale de Musique in Paris, taking lessons legendary teachers Alfred Cortot and Nadia Boulanger.

Since the age of eighteen she's lived in an apt on the fourteenth floor of a building that overlooks the Seine in Paris. She worked as a music instructor for many years, with the piano remaining a fixed companion and consolation over the decades.
