Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on May 26, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Imants Kalnins! Another year older, yet your symphonies remain timeless—much like the mystery of where composers hide their secret stash of inspiration. Is it behind the piano keys or tucked inside a conductor's baton? Either way, your six symphonies and captivating operas continue to enchant Latvia and beyond.

From grand opera stages to intimate concert halls, you've orchestrated decades filled with unforgettable melodies. Your music has become as iconic in Latvian culture as rye bread and midsummer celebrations—but thankfully less fleeting than summer sunshine!

Here's wishing you another harmonious year ahead; may your creativity never miss a beat!
