Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on August 26, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Nico Muhly! May your day be filled with harmonious chaos—much like the brilliant blend of classical elegance and rock-star flair you've mastered. From collaborating seamlessly across genres to orchestrating symphonies that defy convention, you’ve proven there's nothing a composer can't do (especially one who survived editing Philip Glass's endless arpeggios!).

Here's wishing another year packed full of groundbreaking compositions, unforgettable collaborations—and perhaps fewer late-night keyboard marathons. Keep dazzling us all by bridging musical worlds; after working alongside legends from indie bands to orchestral maestros alike, we know you're just getting warmed up for an encore performance called life!
