The Pianists' Birthday Problem

We are used to the idea that common birthdays are not that unusual.  I recently attended a
chamber music concert involving the young German pianist Markus Groh.  A quick look at
his website revealed a rather extreme version of birthday matching:  Groh was born January 5th,
the same day as Alfred Brendel, Maurizo Pollini, and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli!
