If you are, and you haven't "discovered" her yet I suggest you check out a young British musician called Alma Deutscher on Youtube - and I mean young; she is 15. She began composing at age 4 or 5, her first short opera was performed in Israel when she was 7 and her full length opera Cinderella premiered in in Vienna when she was 11. A year or so later it was expanded and staged by Opera San Jose in the U S. Her work has been praised by maestros such as Zubin Mehta, the patron of the Vienna production, Jane Glover, conductor in San Jose and Simon Rattle.
She is also a concert standard pianist and violinist and regularly fronts orchestras playing her work. Last year she performed a full concert of her work to a sold out audience in Carnegie Hall and received standing ovations.
Check her out; she is a thoroughly delightful young lady and her music is wonderful.
