Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on September 18, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan! May your day be filled with more harmony than Beethoven's Ninth and fewer surprises than a Mozart cadenza. Your brilliant performances of Schumann have left audiences spellbound—rumor has it even the New York Philharmonic secretly hums along backstage.

From captivating Carnegie Hall to dazzling crowds alongside the Cleveland Orchestra, you've hit all the right notes (literally!). Here's wishing you another year full of standing ovations, perfectly tuned Steinways—and perhaps just enough wrong notes to keep life interesting. After all, perfection is overrated; humor lasts forever!

Cheers to many more years tickling ivories and funny bones alike!
