Adrian Wells Beeoham, the son of Sir Thomas Beecham, although 15 years of age, has composed two operas, two symphonies, with full orchestra scores, and one ballet. Lady Beecham described the way in which Adrian’s musical genius was first discovered. "He had a musicbox with discs when he was 17 months old,” said Lady Beecham, “and although lie oould not read he could tell the names of every one of 30 classical tunes by ear."
