An incredible speech was given by the 14 year old composer Alma Deutscher upon receiving the European Culture Prize at the Vienna State Opera on October 20, 2019. At this prestigious ceremony, the young musician, whose works have sent shock waves through the musical world since she began composing at young age of 6 made an impassioned defense of harmony. For years, Alma had been pressured by the musical elite of Europe to adopt the modernist ideological view that art must reflect the ugliness of the age which the artist is born into. For years, this young protege has not only fought against this pressure, but has continued to produce incredibly advanced classical works expressing the highest principles of composition including two operas, multiple concertos, sonatas, and orchestral works gaining the admiration of the world’s greatest musicians and conductors. At the October 20 event Alma said:
Featured below are Alma’s beautiful remarks: Alma’s very existence has demonstrated the universality of classical beauty which modern academics have asserted are outdated and naive as they express a focus on harmony and beauty unbecoming of the ugliness which our modern world has discovered to be humanity’s true nature. A 2017 documentary called “Finding Cinderella” documented the upbringing, and classical humanist education which enriched young Alma’s genius and which stands as an invaluable pedagogical tool for educators and parents today.
