Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on August 19, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Alexander Gavrylyuk! You're like the ultimate piano wizard—winning first prize at competitions named after Rubinstein (2005), Horowitz (1999), and conquering Hamamatsu in 2000. Clearly, you're just collecting legendary pianist titles now!

Thanks for dazzling audiences with your fiery interpretations and lightning-speed fingers; rumor has it even Chopin would stand up to applaud you. May this birthday bring you as much applause—and cake—as you've earned across stages worldwide.

Here's wishing a timeless maestro another brilliant year on keys that take our breath away—but please save some spotlight for others too! Encore-worthy birthdays ahead!
