Mychael Danna

An orchestral performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra of Danna's film score (with the original person who sung the main theme, Bombay Jayashri, singing in concert) for the film Life of Pi is here. NOTE: The film, directed by Ang Lee, won several Academy Awards in 2013, including ones for best film and best original film score. A brief interview of the singer while attending the Oscars is here (notice her humility)--her song was nominated for the best original song; though it did not get the Oscar. Film trailer is here.
