Keep Your Eye on Cellist Soo Bae (by Brian Wise March 4, 2009)
NEW YORK -- In the dark back room of Barbès, a bar in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood, bartenders speak in thick French accents as patrons wearing jeans and quirky facial hair sip glasses of imported beer. The space feels like an overstuffed Parisian café but instead of scratchy Jacques Brel recordings, tonight’s music is being provided by cellist Soo Bae.

Debut CD "BONJOUR" release and available.
About the CD: "This CD is very special to me because each track has its own special story from different places and times in my musical journey. The majority of the tracks are compilations of live-recorded concerts in various different places. For that reason this recording is not perfect by any means. But i hope you enjoy it anyway as i share it with you in one take!" if you would like to purchase, please click below!

It is really beautiful so I hope you guys have chance to check out her website at WWW.GLASSBYYURI.COM Keep in mind that when you purchase these earrings, "A portion of the proceeds will also go to a charity by an organization called World Vision in Rakai, Uganda. Uganda is an area devastated by AIDS and is in need of basic living supplies. World Visions provides food, clothing, and shelter, and educates villagers with life skills. It aims to teach these people to be self sufficient in hopes that this education will be passed down and improve the living conditions in their area." (from Yuri's website)
