...violinists were Shiyu Wei ’10 and Shuang Wu ’11, and their concert was a part of the ongoing Student Music Performance Series, organized by the Harvard Arts Museums Education Department.

For this, the unaccustomed ear might have been a little challenged upon hearing the more delicate and subdued tonal...
