She received a little violin as a present on her third birthday, and while her parents thought it would just be another toy, she was "so excited by it and tried playing on it for days on end", so her parents decided to find her a teacher. In a 2017 interview with the Financial Times, Deutscher said: "I remember when I was three and I was listening to a lullaby by Richard Strauss, I loved it!

She is the daughter of literary scholar Janie Deutscher (née Steen) and linguist Guy Deutscher. 6 Notable performances, recordings and publicationsĪlma Elizabeth Deutscher was born on 18 February 2005, in Basingstoke, England.
