Dr. Peterson Says It with Music
Photo: Doug Griffin / Toronto Star
Noted Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson was conferred with
an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by the University of Toronto
faculty of music yesterday. In lieu of the traditional address
to graduating students, who were holding their convocation,
Peterson said it in the language he knows best - at the keyboard.
He played a stirring rendition of Caravan, for which he received
a thunderous ovation from the faculty, students and guests. U of T
Chancellor George Ignatieff conferred the honor.
