On June, 13 at the Convocation ceremony for students of the Faculty of Music and OISE, the University of Toronto recognized the extraordinary achievements of its renowned alumnus with a Doctor of Letters, honoris causa.
Mychael Danna addressed the ceremony after receiving the honorary degree.
“The most gratifying filmmaking experiences are ones that take effort to un peel the layers surrounding the heart of the story, and to find the best musical expression of that heart,” said Danna. “Those are always the film scores that I am most proud of.”
