108-year-old pianist doesn't let age stop her playing
- 5 years ago
Just listening to the piano melody, it would be impossible to guess the age of the person playing it.
Wanda Zarzycka... at 108-years-old... is one of the oldest and most talented pianists in Poland.
Her love for the instrument began when she learned as a young girl with her mother's piano, the one she still plays... and is her most valuable possession.
But when World War Two broke out, she was forced to stop playing.
"There was rain falling on the piano, because we didn't have a place to hide it, so we kept it in a shed in the countryside. So, I was not playing for five years because the piano was broken."
Despite her hardships, her love for piano continued... and Wanda still plays every day.
