92 years old (Born on April 22, 1932)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael Colgrass! From Pulitzer Prize-winning compositions like "Crossworlds" and Emmy Award triumphs, you've orchestrated a life filled with harmony—and perhaps just enough dissonance—to keep things interesting. Your collaborations with ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and The Metropolitan Opera have left audiences applauding (and musicians sweating).Whether it's your innovative rhythms in "Side by Side," or captivating melodies of 2008's "Pan Trio," you continue to inspire us all. May this birthday be pitch-perfect—filled with laughter, joy, and absolutely no off-key singing from friends attempting your masterpieces at karaoke night!
