A wave of music fills the rehearsal hall at Opera San Jose, the music starting and stopping with the wave of a baton. The person commanding that baton and the room of musicians is 17-year-old AlmaDeutscher.
The British composer, pianist and violinist, who's leading an orchestra of musicians older than her, composed her first piano sonata at five. At seven she completed a short opera and at nine she wrote a violin concerto.She is in San Jose for her international operatic conducting debut of the opera she started creating as an 8-year-old, a new take on Cinderella.
Deutscher says at 17, leading a room of adults doesn't intimidate her - she's been doing it since she was 7.
