When the Shanghai Quartet formed in 1983, only first violinist Weigang Li occupied the same position he now holds in the ensemble. His brother Honggang Li also helped found the group, but two years ago, after 11 years as second violinist, he switched to fill the spot vacated by violist Zheng Wang. Newcomer Yiwen Jiang entered as second violinist. In comparison, after six years with the Shanghai, cellist James Wilson seems a veteran.
