55 years old (Born on January 14, 1970)
Happy birthday, Fazil Say! Celebrating a composer whose music has danced boldly from Anatolian folklore to Persian poetry—making even controversial notes sound harmonious. Your ability to stir emotions (and debates!) with each composition is unparalleled.Your clarinet concerto inspired by Omar Khayyam's poetic legacy for the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival remains unforgettable; Sabine Meyer’s mesmerizing performance continues resonating in our hearts. May your special day be filled with as much joy and delightful surprise as when audiences first heard your vivid musical storytelling!
Wishing you another brilliant year ahead—and remember: controversy fades, but great composers always stay timelessly fascinating.
