Commencement
Commencement is one of our favorite times at Berklee—a time when we celebrate new graduates embarking on their careers, and honor those who have made outstanding contributions in the field of music.
A highlight of each year's festivities is the student tribute concert held the night before commencement, in recognition of the honorary degree recipients.
Over the past few years, online commencement coverage has expanded to include video, photo galleries, press releases, webcasts, commencement addresses, feature stories, and interviews.
For an overview of Commencement at Berklee, see Where the Greats Go to Graduate, as well as the full list of honorary degree recipients.
