Emily Bear Diversity Qwest Records/Concord Music
Every generation produces child protégés in various fields of endeavor. For music fans, we are fortunate to have an 11 year old piano sensation; Emily Bear, who has released her first major label CD, Diversity. Her previous 5 recordings have all been for charitable causes. For most, Diversity will serve as an introduction to Miss Bear who has been entertaining audiences on stage and TV since she was 5 years old. As an infant she demonstrated interest in playing the piano and was able to sing back to her mother in perfect pitch the lullabies that were sung to her. Her story is truly amazing, learn more here.
