# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born in Bergen on 15 June 1843, the son of a city that would later claim him as its most famous resident. A composer and pianist, he drew on Norwegian folk traditions and wove them into his work, carrying local melodies onto international stages at a time when national identity and classical music were fusing across Europe. The strategy worked: his compositions entered the standard repertoire worldwide and helped forge a sense of what Norwegian music could be. By the time he died on 4 September 1907, Bergen had begun building monuments in his name — concert halls, academies, choirs, a museum at his former home, Troldhaugen. The city still wears his legacy like a family crest.
