In their second season as an as-yet-unnamed partnership, the well-known soloists Stella Chen, violin; Matthew Lipman, viola; and Brannon Cho, cello will make mark an intriguing Boston debut recital at Jordan Hall Saturday night for the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts with Leo Weiner’s String Trio in G minor, Op. 6, Emmy Frensel Wegener’s Suite for Violin, Viola, and Cello; Gideon Klein’s String Trio, and Mozart’s Divertimento in E-flat Major, K. 563.
