What if aging wasn’t about slowing down — but expanding horizons?

Leanne Rees is a classically trained pianist and composer who has dedicated her life to advancing the role of women in music — and continues to hone her craft over a seven-decade career. One of three older artists featured in the new documentary In Life, her passion challenges the way we see aging.  

The film explores what it means to keep growing, creating, and finding purpose as we age. Told through intimate video portraits of lives led with curiosity, In Life explores each artist’s grit, style and drive. Check out our newest GrandPeople episode for more of Leanne’s story.
