66 years old (Born on April 27, 1959)
Happy Birthday, Louis Lortie! Wishing an exceptional musician (and keyboard conqueror of Ravel’s shimmering complexities, Chopin’s poetic charm and Beethoven's thunderous genius) another glorious spin around the sun. With your fingertips working magic across ivory keys from Berlin to Tokyo—leaving audiences spellbound and critics running out of adjectives—we suspect there's sheet music tucked somewhere inside that birthday cake!From unforgettable renditions at international stages to dazzling recordings loved globally—you've elevated piano artistry with elegance and wit. May this year bring you standing ovations aplenty, stamina for endless encores...and may you never find yourself in a duet with an overly eager triangle player!
