On the Verge: For My Classical Lovers-Emily Bear

Emily Bear is 8 years old and began piano studies at the age of five with Emilio del Rosario at The Music Institute of Chicago.

She is now known to be the youngest composer on the planet. Pianist Emily Bear has only been playing piano for three years, but at just eight years old, her accomplishments are inspiring and her talent is breathtaking.

Classical, jazz and boogie come naturally to her. She performs a large list of classics and standards, and also composes her own magical songs.


Emily was the youngest solo performer in the history of the Ravinia Festival, has performed with many well known musicians, appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" five times and performed at the White House.

Emily and her family are dedicated to using her talent to help and inspire others. Giving and charity are very important to Emily and a portion of the proceeds from all CD sales are donated to charity foundations such as Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and Children's Hospital, among others.

Her latest CD "Always True" is available in stores
