Nicholas Yee
Nicholas is a musician and multidisciplinary artist with a love for movies, the mountains, and milk tea. He makes music that’s mellow and moody, and recontextualizes the cello and other classical instruments to engage in cultural conversations.
As a cellist, he has performed at the JUNO Awards with artists like Shawn Mendes and Jessie Reyez, recorded for music labels Seeking Blue and 88rising, and performed for the Pope when he visited Canada in 2022. Nicholas is currently a member of the Stringbeans Quartet.
Paper Birch Books
Paper Birch Books is a used & new bookstore and cafe in inner city Edmonton, on the blurry edge of Chinatown in McCauley. An Asian co-owned small business, Paper Birch hosts a vast, eclectic collection of books timely and timeless, rad, rare, and spectacular, with a bent towards the literary, intellectual, curious, underrepresented, and marginal. The bookstore also features a suspended book and coffee fund available for low-income community members. As a venue, Paper Birch Books hosts literary, educational, arts and social justice themed events, from naloxone trainings to poetry readings, book launches, and panels, with more to come!
Come experience the music and the space!
