My Take
Emily Bear gives me that rare chill of witnessing a genuine prodigy. From Rockford, Illinois, she became the youngest performer ever at the Ravinia Festival at five and was astonishing audiences on national television by six. I'm usually wary of the word genius, but here I'll spend it. What impresses me even more than the early fireworks is the refusal to be defined by them: pianist, composer, jazz musician, singer, always expanding outward. The cruel cliché is that child prodigies fade.
