Formed in 1999 by three highly accomplished Chinese-American women, the Jade String Trio has established itself on the concert stage and in the educational world as a leader in its genre.

Based in New York City, the Trio has performed widely in the New York metropolitan area including appearances at Bargemusic and the Cutting Edge Music Series. It has captivated audiences at the Donnell Library, Rockefeller and Drew Universities and was featured on WNYC-FM’s Live Segment with John Schafer and at the United Nations Disarmament Talks. In addition to concert appearances, the Jade String Trio is in demand for their educational workshops and performances.
