Emily Bear at Blue Note Los Angeles

Emily Bear has been playing professionally since she was five, and at 24 she already has a Grammy, an Emmy and a Disney film credit to her name. On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, she brings that résumé to Blue Note Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard, a rare intimate room for a pianist whose music has reached a billion-dollar audience. If you are making a list of concerts in Los Angeles for the second week of November, this one is worth a spot.

When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Doors: 5:00 PM for the early show

Who is Emily Bear

Bear is a composer, producer, pianist and recording artist. She is best known to film audiences as the youngest composer to write the soundtrack for a Disney animated feature, Moana 2. According to the venue, her current slate also includes two stage musicals in development, several film projects and her first solo music in almost a decade. A show like this is a chance to hear her at the keys instead of on a soundtrack.

What to expect

Blue Note is a jazz-club-style room, so expect close sightlines, table service and a quiet, attentive crowd rather than a standing pit. The venue lists a second show at 9:30 PM that night (doors at 9:00 PM) and a run of dates on Wednesday, November 11, so you have options if one time suits you better. Premium reserved seating is listed for the Wednesday shows.

Practical info

The venue notes a $20 minimum per person, with a full bar and dinner menu. Seating is first come, first served. Table seating is all ages, while the bar area is 21 and over, and when the bar seats fill, the rest of that area is standing room only. All sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. The page lists no ticket price, so check the official listing or TicketWeb for current availability before you go.

Plan to arrive early if you want a good table. Dinner service makes the doors time useful: come at 5:00 PM, eat, and settle in before the music starts.

Getting there

The club sits on the Sunset Boulevard stretch of Hollywood, close to the neighborhood's restaurants and other venues. It is one of the more reliable things happening in Hollywood on a weeknight, and parking in the area is limited, so a rideshare or the Metro B Line to Hollywood/Highland plus a short ride is easier than circling for a spot.

If you are filling out a week of things to do in Los Angeles, pair dinner at the club with a walk down Sunset afterward. For more nights like this, browse the concerts category and the Hollywood neighborhood page.
