Emily Bear has played piano as the youngest solo performer at Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, a venue known for hosting classy on-the-lawn entertainment for adults.
On Thursday (Aug. 20), the 7-year-old from Rockford will be more at home in terms of her age group when she performs at a Ravinia-presented outdoor concert at a kids’ museum in Glenview: Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago. She’ll play a 45-minute solo.
By the way, Emily turns 8 later this month.
Emily was 6 years old when this photo was taken of her at King Gifted School in Rockford in 2007 reacting to the gym teacher becoming a human sundae. Alan Leon photo for the Register Star.
