Is Alma Deutscher the new Mozart? A seven-year-old violinist, pianist and composer who, if some are to be believed, is the new Mozart. Deutscher lives in Surrey with her parents, Guy and Janie. Her Israeli-born father is a highly regarded linguist and amateur flautist, while her mother is an academic. Earlier this year, Deutscher composed a short opera called The Sweeper of Dreams, which narrowly missed out on making the final of a contest run by the English National Opera to unearth young, talented classical musicians. Her YouTube channel - which has around 50,000 hits - features clips of her playing her own compositions and works by famous composers. It piqued the interest of British comedian and writer Stephen Fry, who tweeted the following on Wednesday, alongside a link to one of Deutscher's videos: Simply mind-blowing: Alma Deutscher playing her own compositions. A new Mozart? What does she think about it all? Deutscher told the Independent that she wants "people to know how I play," and eventually would like to "compose like Mozart, play the violin like Perlman and play the piano like Barenboim."
