Emily is writen about in the RR Star so I thought I'd start a thread for it...here is the latest.
Made in America - Steinway Pianos
Add comment November 21st, 2009
Last Thursday, my wife and I took my 11 year old grandson and his Mom to see Emily Bear, the 8 year old piano playing sensation of Rockford, perform at Mendelssohn Club. Before she performed, Steinway representatives played a movie about the making of a 9 foot Steinway piano.
Located in New York, the hand craftsmanship of piano making is truly an art. Taking one year from logging and cutting the wood, to all the steps of forming, cutting, shaping, installing keys and strings and the several steps of tuning makes this truly one of America’s pride and joy. The movie is being shown around the world, mainly at film festivals but will be viewing on national TV in coming months.
And the “frosting on the cake” was Emily played the very piano, #L1037. What a great performance! She is one of Rockford’s jewels. The picture I took of her and my grandson will be in his memory for many years.
enjoy...don

Hi, there is one short article published in this newspaper (available on this link) Emily Bear of Rockford to play piano at Carnegie Hall September 27th, 2010 at 10:02am Georgette Braun
Emily Bear, who is now 9 years old and has been playing piano pieces she composes the past three years on TV and in places like the White House, will make her Carnegie Hall debut Dec. 2.
The New York City venue is one of the most prestigious in the world for classical and popular music.
Several of Emily’s original songs will be performed by Emily with a 100-piece orchestra, soloists and a 200-person choir.
The concert is a benefit for elderly care.
The sentence in blue attracted my interest. It could look amazing. I hope they will record it and publish somewhere. Petee
