She started playing the piano when she was two years old and the violin when she was three. Soon afterwards she started improvising simple melodies on the piano. Her attempts at composition started aged four, when she began writing an opera about a pirate called Don Alonzo.When she was 6, she composed her first full piano sonata, and at 7 she composed a very short opera called The Sweeper of Dreams. There followed various compositions for violin, piano, and chamber ensembles. Aged 9, Alma wrote a Concerto for violin and orchestra, which she premiered in 2015. Her first piece for symphony orchestra, Dance of the Solent Mermaids was also premiered in 2015. Aged 10, Alma finished a full length opera, Cinderella. A chamber version of the opera wasperformed in 2015, and the full version will be premiered in Vienna in December 2016. As a soloist on both violin and piano, Alma has performed in England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Uruguay, USA, Israel, and Japan. She has also performed in prestigious events, including Google's Zeitgeist, alongside speakers such as Physicist Stephen Hawking. Alma’s first CD, The Music of Alma Deutscher was released in 2013, featuring a selection of her early compositions up to age 8. Alma has featured prominently in the international press and broadcast media, including the Ellen Degeneres Show in the US. Her YouTube channel has more than 3 million views. Alma plays on a violin by Carlo Bergonzi kindly lent to her by the Beare’s International Violin Society. MEDIA ACCLAIMS Conductor Zubin Mehta on which musicians he imagines will take centre-stage in the future … Recently I met a child prodigy called Alma Deutscher, very young. She plays a Mozart piano concerto, and then she takes the violin and plays a French Romantic violin concerto. And in the Mozart concerto she tells me: you know, Mozart wrote a cadenza to this concerto [no. 8], but it’s too simple, so I wrote one myself. I recently heard a recording with three pieces she has composed. … She came last year to my concert where we did Fledermaus … and afterwards she gave me comments that only an educated grown-up musician could have made. (OPUS Magazine, Apr. 2015) Musicologist Ron Weidberg on Alma’s compositions Alma’s most important talent is the perfect connection between her inner world and the melodies she creates, which are so beautiful because they stem directly from this inner world. Few composers can write such tunes, which from the first moment are immediately impressed upon our memory, and thus turn into the possession of all those who listen to them. Alma is one of these composers, and this is why we are confident that the melodies Alma is writing now will remain with us even when we grow up, and when we ourselves no longer remain the same as we were. (June 2015) Review of Alma’s début concert with a symphony orchestra, in Oviedo Then Alma Deutscher came onto the stage, with a violin in her hands, and her face lit up with happiness, dressed entirely in white, airily radiant as a cloud. Throughout the whole concert there had persisted a kind of hazy noise, an unavoidable murmur from some of the hundreds of young children in the auditorium who were getting restless. But when Alma started to play her little 200 year old Italian violin, that haze of noise dissipated as if by a magic art. More than 500 speechless children stared at her. It’s truly incredible that the two movements of her violin concerto, which she premièred in Oviedo, and the Dance of the Solent Mermaids, are so accomplished, also in their orchestration…. Those of us who play a string instrument were stunned by her playing. If this is the first time she has played with an orchestra, we can’t even imagine what the next performances will be like. All children have a soul, Alma, in addition, has a soul for the stage (in Spanish: alma means ‘soul’). She was born with it. (Joaquín Veldeón, La Nueva España, 25.1.2015) Review of Alma's performance at the Voice of Music Festival in the Galillee, 2013 If someone had accidentally entered the first half of the opening concert, he would no doubt have assumed that the Piano Trio was composed by a major composer, probably Viennese, from the early years of the nineteenth century. The participation of the little violinist Alma Deutscher (born 2005), playing with captivating sound, would have perhaps surprised him a little, but would not have challenged the stylistic identification. But no: it turns out that Deutscher, in a wondrous display of stylistic understanding and taste, composed the trio herself, and before it she played – this time on the piano – a sonata that she wrote as well, here in eighteenth century style.
