Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on November 14, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Arabella Steinbacher! From conquering the Joseph-Joachim-Violinwettbewerbes Hannover at just nineteen to snagging the Förderpreis des Freistaates Bayern a year later in 2001, you've been hitting high notes since before most of us figured out how to tune our instruments. Clearly, your violin skills age like fine wine—getting richer and more impressive every year!

Here's wishing you another harmonious trip around the sun filled with standing ovations and fewer broken strings. May your bow always glide smoothly, may critics forever rave about your brilliance—and may you never accidentally sit on that priceless violin backstage again! Cheers!
