Raman Ramakrishnan: "To share the stage with Jesse and Rieko for the last nine years, as founding cellist of the Horszowski Trio, has been nothing short of inspirational. It is with sadness that I say goodbye to the group to embark on a new path for myself. However, I take great comfort knowing that Ole Akahoshi will be joining the trio in my place. I have known Ole for two decades and have the deepest respect for him as a musician, a cellist, and a human being. I wish the Horszowski Trio well as they begin this new, exciting chapter."

​

Ole Akahoshi: “I have been admiring the Horszowski Trio for many years. I have had the pleasure of performing with Rieko and Jesse separately on numerous occasions; being on stage with them has always been a tremendously invigorating, inspiring, and highly gratifying experience for me. I have the highest respect for Raman Ramakrishnan, who has been such a beautiful musical foundation for this trio for the last nine years. I hope to continue Raman’s inspiring tradition while bringing my own personal story to the group. I look forward to our upcoming musical journeys and discoveries.”
