Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on April 12, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Martin! May your day be filled with harmonious laughter and chamber-sized slices of cake. From founding the Brandeis Chamber Ensemble to tickling the ivories for the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Erich Leinsdorf, you've orchestrated a life that's truly noteworthy.

Your compositions have resonated through concert halls and hearts alike—proving that great music never goes out of style. Here's hoping your birthday hits all the right notes, just like your timeless pieces always do. Cheers to another year of inspiring melodies and delightful harmonies; may you continue composing joyfully (and humorously) for many more birthdays to come!
