Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 16, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Jeremy Denk! May your day be as intellectually stimulating and delightfully engaging as your legendary interpretations of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. Your generous spirit at the piano has made even the most complex compositions feel like a friendly conversation—one where we nod knowingly while secretly marveling at how effortlessly you unravel musical mysteries.

Here's to another year filled with standing ovations, insightful essays on music's quirkiest corners, Grammy-worthy performances (and perhaps more actual Grammys!), plus countless moments when audiences whisper in awe: "How does he do that?" Keep dazzling us all; classical music is infinitely richer because you're playing it.
