Here she is at 11 (!), playing the first of Henze's Drei Tentos:

More like this, please.

She's yet another brilliant student of Stefan Schmidt. He has turned out so many great players at a young age. And not just technically, but musically.

Yes, I don't even think about technique when she plays- it's all music.

I'm guessing her teacher Stefan Schmidt is the same one who did
those tremendous CDs awhile back of Bach, Scarlatti, and Ohana..
someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I wondered the same, Carey. I'm still not certain, but I've been they're not one and the same. The 8-string Schmidt Bach recording is truly wonderful.

Okay, according to Wiki, the 8-stringer, whose name is Stephan, resides in Switzerland. He seems to keep a (regrettably) low profile. The teacher Stefan has coached such players as Nadja Kankovich, Jessica Kaiser, Isabela Selder.

Thanks for that info!
