Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on September 13, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Andreas Staier! You’ve journeyed marvelously through centuries—masterfully handling keyboards older than Beethoven’s wig and Bach’s coffee habits. Your spirited interpretations continue to enchant audiences, breathing fresh life into the melodies of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

From electrifying chamber performances that made ancient instruments sing anew, to vibrant recitals that showed everyone Baroque can be hilarious (and occasionally mischievous!), your graceful presence on stage remains unmatched. May your next musical voyage span even more octaves of success!

Keep dazzling us with timeless virtuosity and good humor—because unlike a harpsichord in humidity, you only improve with age!
