We are looking forward to performing tonight in Kingston with the Rao Trio. What a wonderful finale to the most fabulous introduction we could have gotten to Jamaica!!!!! The best locations , hotels and activities we could have dreamt of. We cannot thank you enough Jamaican High Commissioner His Excellency Jason Hall and his friends and colleagues here in Jamaica. It is our first trip, but we already look forward to coming back to the country, culture and most importantly people of Jamaica. @jasonkeats4
Graduation Day 2026 Ishaan. What a proud moment indeed.
How have the 4yrs flown by? It just seems a few months ago when we dropped # this 17yr old boy and we take back a beautiful 21yr old young man with us!! How amazing this journey has been for Ishaan, growing into such a sensitive human being who’s loved by one and all and developing into an artist who’s creating music for the world he can live in ( like the old African saying!). A week after being at Berklee in 2022 when Ishaan said that, for the first time in his life, he could be unapologetically himself, Saskia and I knew that he was at the right place where he needed to be.
Berklee has been a wonderful journey where he got the space, freedom and encouragement to search within himself and move forward on the path that he wanted to. His professors loved him and he was on the Dean’s List every year.
Proud of you Ishaan. Next journey— your Master’s at the New England Conservatory and can’t wait to see where you go from here.
Love you to the moon and back ❤️❤️ #graduation #berkleecollegeofmusic #piano #newenglandconservatory mas

Vidushi Saskia Rao de Haas is a world-renowned cellist and composer and the creator of an entirely new instrument, the Indian Cello. Her music combines introspection with unparalleled virtuosity. She was knighted by the King of the Netherlands for her music and cultural diplomacy. Her Guru, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, said of Saskia, “She has been taught by God, and everyone should listen to her music.” Dr. Sonal Mansingh bestowed upon her the title Vidushi.
