I have to do this.

Back in 2010, I googled the name of my niece Emily Baer, and all of the top matches were for the then 8- or 9- year-old child prodigy composer and pianist Emily Bear. I have been following her career ever since, sporadically at first and more frequently since she graduated HS at age 15.

Emily and her composing partner Abigail Barlow meeting ALW in London in 2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWyWGS9ribS/ and https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1G2-vIfH_/ where ALW is playing the part of Julie Andrews from the Netflix series Bridgerton. This is part of one of Barlow and Bear's songs from their Grammy-winning album.

Emily's Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Bear which needs updating. E.g., it is missing the fact that she is one of nine composers of the film Behemoth! which will be released in December https://www.instagram.com/p/DdIANn0P8WM/ and will be shown at the New York Film Festival in October.
