Happy Birthday, Gil Shaham! From stepping in for Itzhak Perlman with the London Symphony Orchestra to dazzling audiences worldwide ever since, you've proven that sometimes being a substitute can lead straight into stardom. Your violin doesn't just sing—it tells jokes and stories too!May your birthday be filled with as much joy and applause as you bring every time you step onto stage. Here's hoping this year brings even more standing ovations, unforgettable performances—and perhaps fewer last-minute substitutions (though we know you'd handle them brilliantly). Keep fiddling fabulously; after all these years you're still hitting all the right notes!
