 Emily Bear, the 7-year-old pianist from Rockford who writes her own compositions, on Thursday, April 30, will appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” for the fifth time in a year an a half.
Emily’s appearance is part of the 999th “Ellen” show. In DeGeneres’ “Weekly Newsletter,” DeGeneres writes: “Every once in a while, a young kid comes along who is so talented that I am absolutely blown away. Emily is one of them. Her piano skills are unbelievable. And the most impressive part is that she’s just 7 years old!”
