Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on May 11, 1961)

Happy birthday to the incredible Cecile Licad—pianist extraordinaire, fearless virtuoso, and a true "pianist's pianist"! Your daring performances continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Whether you're effortlessly conquering Rachmaninoff or dazzling us with Chopin’s intricate melodies, your fingers dance across keys faster than most of us can blink.

Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations and unforgettable encores! May your days be as vibrant as Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies—and may critics keep running out of adjectives for praising your brilliance. Keep inspiring musicians everywhere; after all these years in music history books (and The New Yorker!), you've still got it!
