You have triumphed over adversity in the throws of a global pandemic you have adapted and continued your musical education despite the quarantine and learning how to learn remotely and via hybrid models. To my composer son, I am so proud that you were able to create new music and keep your creative spark. As you enter the next stages of your lives, remember how you have all persevered and triumphed!

JIRO DUEÑEZ. CLASS OF 2021.

We blinked! You’re a Berklee College of Music Grad! It feels like you left for Boston yesterday. YOU started your journey on your own: applied (we didn’t know you had); auditioned, passed and were offered a spot (no doubt the panel were impressed with your abilities and sensed your future capabilities).

Your journey at Berklee will be one of many great experiences.

WE…
ARE…
PROUD OF YOU!

As the proud father of a Berklee student who is following your footsteps I want to express my admiration for the immense work involved in successfully completing your studies at Berklee… It is a great achievement and each of you must be very proud of it… Congratulations!!
Now we are in a world that drastically changed in many ways and this situation has made us appreciate even more the contribution that you – the artists – make for the well-being of humanity.
Today we recognize much more than before that the world needs art permanently, it is its spiritual food, which nourishes the hope of a positive tomorrow. Thank you for training so well to contribute with your music to build a better world, a better society, a better human being … This different world welcomes you today … It was waiting for you, it needs you, …we need you … You are the ones who will continue giving us joy in the coming years and who will show us the most noble part of the human being.
Thanks to each of you for your effort to prepare so well to give that gift to humanity…. Thank you in advance for all the beautiful and positive things that we will receive from you …

To our Anna Mariko, it’s difficult to express the pride and joy that you have brought us in the last 22 years. Graduating from your dream school is another milestone you accomplished with conviction, passion and grace. We were amazed at how you handled yourself during this extremely adverse time in history. It showed great maturity isolating alone for months while over 3,000 miles from home. You’re a fabulous and strong women with an exciting future ahead. Stay strong in your faith, lead with your moral compass as you move forward in life and know that we will always be here for you.
