Wei Tan, violin; Ching Jen Juhl, viola; and David Marc Tagle, cello; are graduates of leading conservatories and overseas.

Since then, they have held concerts in the U.S., China and the New York metropolitan area. Their performances at Bargemusic and Merkin Hall were highly praised, and their have been featured in live radio broadcasts on WNYC and WBAI. In addition to concerts, the Trio is in demand for its educational workshops and performances.The Jade String Trio’s recoding of Paul Chihara’s String Trio was released by Albany Records in 2003.
